Easy to learn, hard to master, used for things it wasn’t created for.

Yep.

    You don't master Javascript, ever. You just become accustomed to the madness and stop caring, while sometimes doing things right.

    Is there a typescript analogue for python? Preferably that adds curly braces?

    But they're both programming languages...

    That’s the joke

    It’s implying js isn’t a programming language because web stuff isn’t real programming

    Web stuff is like 99% of all programming across the world, but okay.

    Not even close.

    Most software out there is not consumer facing (there is a huge amount of custom stuff inside companies of all sizes) and even in the consumer space most software nowadays resides in ... smartphones.

    Unless, of course, you count HTML (literally a Markup Language, so data formatting for display not code) as programming, in which case I'll leave you to enjoy your fantasy world.

    You kinda forget that for each front end you see theres at least 4 times more backend to support it.

    Also there are ton of non fron facing software.

    Anyway its not really a competition. No one will be offended if you are wrong or not.

    The back-end functionality is still web functionality. Just because a user doesn't see all the server stuff doesn't mean it's not necessary to support a website. There are billions of websites across the world, and they almost all use some combination of back-end, front-end, database, and server code.

    I think they meant javascript is to web dev as python is to software dev

    Because JavaScript isn't a programming language, it's a compilation target 😅

    Python is the connective tissue holding together library calls and some of our most advanced AI research is reliant on that. mildly concerning

    Many banking systems sync with one another with txt files so... Yeah...

    Pretty much all online service APIs (Google APIs, Facebook and so on) out there are text-based.

    Granted, JSON formatted text, but still absolutelly human readable text.

    The reason for that is because it's agnostic of the machine architectures (stuff like endianess) on both sides.

    The really crazy stuff in banking are the old binary protocols (like EDF) from the time when bandwidth was way less than now (so, the early 90s and earlier).

    You don't want to know how bad it is. A good friend is a consultant/business analyst for some salesforce-based loan software. Shit's terrifying.

    SFDC itself is written in Java but uses Javascript-esque APEX for whitelabel development?

    I mostly meant the base level shit with text files and ridiculous APIs. Converting from one servicing system to another sounds kind of fun, though. I've always enjoyed doing horrible things to data. The most recent one I heard is there's a drag and drop visual coding tool that I'm told can't export to apex - just make calls to it.

    I had to do a project once with JavaScript. I did not enjoy the experience. In my opinion, a language where you need a reference to tell true from false is a bad language. So maybe JavaScript is the JavaScript of languages.

    Since JavaScript is newer than Python, sure JS is the Python of programming languages /s
