For an application? Never. I’d still use it for something very small like a build script where the hassle of separate compile and run stages makes the whole thing a hassle to use. That might change now, though, since I think Node has gained the ability to execute Typescript directly.

Typescript and JavaScript are different languages and the distinction is important, especially because the two are used in conjunction with each other.

In before conspiracy freaks start inventing conspiracy theories about everyone who tries to talk them down being a malicious AI.

It’s everywhere now.

I didn’t think you realize just how much code is written in JavaScript these days.

Or at least more expensive.

Everything about right wingers is unconscionable and always has been.

I’m old enough to remember when 4 of those 5 languages were the hot new thing. You’d have had me ignore them all and keep using C for everything. If I had done that I wouldn’t have even landed my first job.

There you go again flinging insults at anyone who disagrees with you.

Yeah, because the new tools are never actually better, right? If condescending luddites like you had your way we’d still be living in the literal stone age. At every step of the way, people like you have smugly said that the older, more established ways of doing things were good enough and new ways were just a fad that would die out.

Your favorite language was dismissed as fad when it was new. High level languages were a fad. Computing was a fad. Electricity was a fad. See a pattern?

Nice job projecting with the “only morons” bit, BTW, when it is in fact you who started off by denigrating people whose preferences are different from yours.

Clearly Rust is a conspiracy.

“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.

From is run by Vogons!

JSON and YAML aren’t the same as XML. The attribute/child distinction in XML, and the fact that every object has a tag name associated with it, make it a PITA to map into the data primitives of any programming language I know.

YAML had comments and trailing commas, therefore it’s objectively better than JSON. If you want a compromise solution that mostly looks like JSON, try JSON5.

I don’t know how I feel about calling it a dye. But I also can’t think of a better word.

The article goes into a lot of detail about how it works.

Because classes kind of suck.

This but unironically. Do you need me to explain how elections work in this country?

Blocked.

I can’t control Harris’s policy choices. I can only control my vote, and I will crawl over broken glass to vote for Harris because Trump is a monster.
