Did you read the next sentence?

they're prepared to deploy reams of incoherent code? Gosh

Left-pad was made at a time when tree-shaking wasn't really around, so it was good practice to only include the functions you needed to avoid making websites too heavy. If you just needed a small function then it'd be silly to include a huge utility library like Underscore.

Yes, why bother learning how to use things?

(or invest in UX/user research)

5 years away?

Right, so you don't really understand the problem area and don't know the syntax, so think that something that you can't immediately understand must be a negative change.

Could you give any examples? I'd say GDPR was an incredibly well-thought-out bit of legislation

Why not?

DMA already paying off

Amazing, you read a fairly brief article with a terse description of the problem, and are now convinced you know better than the author.

Why's that? I've always found Namecheap's UI to be pretty bad - slow, inconsistent on mobile and takes several clicks to find the list of domains I actually own.

What about that is positive?

The article mentions that this proposal is in stage 3 for Javascript, so will probably be refined a bit more https://tc39.es/process-document/

The Republic protest was a planned protest, ie they were co-ordinating with the police for weeks beforehand about what they were going to do, where and when, which the Met told them was ok[1]. Then on the morning they were arrested, and have now been released and not charged.

That's the Met's version of events; what they actually did was arrest charity workers the night before, from a charity the Met works closely with[1].

Yeah, not sure why a release note would mention a competitor?

It is accessible - it matches standards and is available in text-only browsers.

Is there a reason you decided to come into a Javascript thread just to tell everyone how much you dislike Javascript?

What a silly thing to say.

Unity's been working on an ECS option for a while now

Most cities in Britain voted remain; since the population of London is higher than Scotland, should London have an independence referendum, especially since England doesn't have its' own parliament?

> The hate for JS frameworks is usually warranted

It's almost never warranted.

Rubbish

Yep, Google's communication was pretty unclear, but the developer is being repeatedly called out for the same underlying problem which they haven't addressed at all.

What a stupid thing to say

In that case, it'd be interesting to see the benefits of Astro vs something like Gatsby

> Also, the community is toxic.

I've found the complete opposite, Rust communities are the least hostile programming environments I've come across.

There's also a huge amount of irony about saying a community is toxic on this site

Javascript is Typescript - TS is a superset of JS, so valid JS is valid TS, although you'd almost certainly get lint errors in dev complaining about lack of types.

They employ ~4000 people? What on earth where they all doing?

> why should ECMAscript care about what node does?

Yes, why should EcmaScript pay any attention to one of the most popular uses of the language with millions of people using it every day?

Stabbings are... good?
