Why is everyone so unhappy with JavaScript?

i'm gonna need that electron vs tauri video

All these figures can get so skewed when the survey is only based on 10k responses

I feel like this survey never really captures my pain. Been using JS for well over a decade now. Been using TS since 1.x. Been using React since 2016. Multiple incompatible modules systems. Limited standard library. Crappy incomplete half-baked APIs (e.g. Web Workers, Custom Elements) foisted off on devs as being "production ready". DOM API sucks. Small library philosophy leads to dependency hell, although tbf more of a tradeoff. Fragmented tooling, although again also a tradeoff. The core language is _fine_ and TS is frankly amazing given the legacy constraints, but I'm so sick of dealing with the issues.

getting fewer APIs in Javascript is actually great, maybe we'll have time to finish something using the old APIs before having to upgrade to something new :)

Hard disagree. Electron hello world is 100+mb because it ships chromium. I bundled my webapp that needs to be a very small exe and used tauri and it's like 3mb. I can't have a 150mb exe file for my simple clock or calculator program. Tauri is amazing.

Here is a list of reasons why front-end developers are not happy. - You stay loyal to your company and maintain a legacy framework only to be told by job market you should have experience with latest framework. - Framework you use at your job might become obsolete in a matter of 1-2 years. - Things are getting so bad we are using loaders again to load a simple page. - People are becoming drama queens because not everybody is using TS - Instead of stabilizing things they keep dumping more things on for the next release of frameworks forcing people to upgrade with no real ROI.

15:06 Most of the negative sentiments from sveltekit are from those who haven't used it. Vast majority who used it (and used the new API) had a positive sentiment.

Considering who much companies use storybook to test components, maaybe you should try it again someday, I personally love it, especially the latest version (version 8)

OMG, those new immutable Array and Set operation methods like union and difference are awesome. How did I miss that?

Sets are amazing for lookup tables
