Genuinely curious, how many of you hating on JS have done professional frontend work recently? If you have done professional work, was it part/full time, using TypeScript, how big was your eng team, did you have to worry about Server Side Rendering? Maybe some extra context will show certain types of projects yield devs that hate the language.

Some of the best software is written in JavaScript.
- Uptime Kuma
- Immich
- Supabase
- VS Code/VSCodium
- Ionic (what the Voyager Lemmy client is written in)
- Expo/React Native (which powers probably a third of your apps)
So uptime kuma being written in JS proves what about the language?
90% of the worst software and websites are made in js

Using only VSCodium in this llist. But not much, because i always have to close it on evening, or the casual game with 300 mods wouldn't run beside it and the webbrowser reserving about half of my 32 GB RAM.
