Comment on Ask HN: Changing my mind about JavaScript

Comments

I love writing javascript. It behaves like a lisp which really likes hashtables and runs on some of the best compiler tech anyone has shipped. Typescript is an interesting layer I haven't used enough.

Most stuff written in javascript makes me nauseous. The entire NPM ecosystem is a parody of software development. But you can ignore essentially all of the libraries and still get work done.
