they will literally send you to jail for learning concepts in your own weird way that makes sense to you
☭
@wallhackio You did post about learning a basic UNIX concept from JavaScripts on the web site full of weird UNIX nerds who hate JavaScripts...
@vaporeon_ lets all just agree to make peace by hating on C++
@vaporeon_ that's more specifically a web development crime than a javascript crime imo
@wallhackio If what you're doing isn't web development, why would you ever want to use JavaScript for it instead of, for example, Perl?
@vaporeon_ I wrote my stardew math script in javascripts 
This is a joke
@wallhackio Clodsires these days not knowing that they should write their mathematical calculations in FORTRAN IV on punched cards SMH...
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ because you know it best or because there was some statistics/charting library that was only in JS?
@anime_reference @wallhackio Every course that I took that involved statistics or plotting used either Python/NumPY/Matplotlib or R... I would be extremely surprised to see someone do that stuff in JavaScript
@anime_reference @vaporeon_ I just really like JavaScript. Python would have been a "better" choice
@anime_reference @vaporeon_ I still ended up using a small amount of python because matplotlib is just too good
@vaporeon_ I really enjoy javascript for scripting tasks because has lexical scoping and functions as first-class objects in a language with a C-like syntax, and unlike Python the lambda syntax is actually fun to write. So I can opt into functional solutions when they make sense, and it still has pretty good abstractions for traditional OOP for when it makes sense
And its surprisingly performant for a scripting language.✝
✝ this accomplished through JIT engines which have a significant memory footprints and are only practical on modern architectures
@wallhackio Nobody is telling me to enable C++ just to access a web page that is static content...
