Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Every time I touch JS (and especially bundlers) I'm reminded of what an incredible pain in the ass the entire ecosystem is. I'm never going to use a JS framework for a new project again. And while I'm at it, fuck it maybe I'll never use Typescript again either. Either use an actually typed language (Rust), use something enjoyable (Ruby), or at a push, write some plain vanilla JS.

I'll happily take the other side of the bet for "I'll never touch a JS framework again"

I actually miss writing ruby. Somehow my last few projects always demanded python.

TS is awful. The type gymnastics needed just to keep a linter happy in a moderately complex project is insane.

Still, it’s somehow less terrible than Python. I genuinely have no idea how anyone gets anything done in that language.

You're looking at this the wrong way Jeff, he's basically offering to pay you to not write JS!!

JavaScript ecosystem is peak fiat. It would have never ballooned into what it is without big VC funded tech companies during a ZIRP. View quoted note →

I sympathize totally. (Even more, relying on MS to improve JS via TS is a total no go for me.)

Have you looked at Elm ?

If this is a frontend and React problem, use Remix. The experience is very good and the whole bundler madness is abstracted away.
