it's super annoying, that the compilers out there, including @typescriptlang @babeljs they do nothing to new functions such as Map/Set. So, they are not really compilers, just transform syntax.

@xahlee >compiling Javascript When will you people learn that Javascript was made to make web pages "ehanance" and then evolvved into a horror and now must be stopped?

@se7en
my god, here we go. am not even sure how to respond.

have you actually ever wrote a single software program?

or worked as a programer in a company?

@se7en maybe you are just shitposting as usual...

but anyway, you know that nobody takes you seriously when your account is fakename+shitposting and never personal detail or serious, right?

@xahlee Perhaps I'll delete my account, go personal. hardly ever use the internet anymore anyway. Have a mastadon on my real-name SDF account? Hate mastadon doe

@se7en what's SDF?

but anyway, it just depends on what you want to do i guess. Apparently a lot enjoy shitposting. It's just not my thing, and i don't think it benefits society or the shitposter himself long term.

i dunno, i think you should do something good for you long term.
well, am not sure my posting do me much good anyway, but oh well.

@xahlee @se7en He's not wrong. Javascript is a mess in many ways. It's just that the horse escaped from the barn long ago.

Sadly, the webdevs who know no other computing environment continue to graft ever-increasing levels of absurdity onto the surrounding ecosystem, thinking all the while that they are helping.

@craig
yeah but that's a different topic.
I want to discuss js transpiler
issue.

sure, js is lousy, but then we just degenerate into something else.

and on that topic, it's not new neither. C and unix, began the whole business of bringing down everything to shit, in the name of speed. From which, we get tch, C++, D, C#, perl, Java, and JavaScript. All originates from trying to fix C, and one beget another.

so what about js? well there's wsm etc. but again, entire whole topic.
