Browsers aren't written in JavaScript. Your tone is unwelcome.

You're idiots for using javascript at all.

krapp | karma 17552 | avg karma 1.17 · | 2018-02-17 01:07:45+00:00

You're far more vainglorious and condescending about not running a scripting language in your browser than you should be.

Sounds like you don't know anything about JavaScript.

danappelxx | karma 476 | avg karma 2.99 · | 2017-02-08 15:06:23

Well, that's quite unfair. JavaScript is also used for creating interactive web applications - not just tracking users. Really your attitude comes off unnecessarily aggressive.

? I didn't say anything about JavaScript.

You do so in a derogatory manner, but you bring up a decent point. This doesn't really seem to be a JavaScript issue so much as an open source issue.

The internet hates people who don't run javascript.

esailija | karma 623 | avg karma 1.83 · | 2016-01-25 06:33:20+00:00

Lol I bet you use tons of javascript apps without knowing it.

wayn3 | karma 728 | avg karma 1.41 · | 2017-05-31 12:28:11+00:00

Doesn't change the fact that javascript is shit.

lucisferre | karma 3308 | avg karma 2.95 · | 2013-06-29 02:09:09+00:00

I'm starting to feel like no-javascript-guy is some type of HN novelty account. Seriously man, not a single person here cares that you don't use javascript. Move on.

austincheney | karma 6940 | avg karma 1.65 · | 2021-11-04 05:18:18

tldr; I hate JavaScript and so should you.

alextgordon | karma 3588 | avg karma 4.05 · | 2015-02-01 01:56:23+00:00

Look, I don't like JavaScript either but it's nothing to get upset about!

panzagl | karma 2476 | avg karma 2.51 · | 2014-01-17 09:52:06

Sorry bro, not everyone is beasting out JavaScript.

colordrops | karma 16845 | avg karma 2.8 · | 2018-10-01 20:38:44

Shit talking JavaScript is pretty tired. Keep it to Reddit.

AtlasBarfed | karma 4354 | avg karma 1.01 · | 2024-02-04 23:34:32

Why not just come out and say you hate JavaScript :)

mattmanser | karma 17335 | avg karma 3.35 · | 2015-01-25 13:34:02+00:00

Why is it 'cmon?

Firstly javascript has been forced on us by the browser manufacturers. Unlike every other platform we developers use we have no choice at all. It's actually disgraceful.

Secondly, it's not even the main thrust of the article, it's a side comment and a factually correct one. Why do we all have to suffer javascript in silence? Let us moan about it if we want.

I'll be honest, I did not pass the word Javascript. And I don't think I could be convinced to.

Didn't expect people to be so hurt by the truth. Sorry. I just don't trust JS running on my machines.

JavaScript totally has real flaws but your complaint is incoherent nonsense.

amiga-workbench | karma 2787 | avg karma 3.68 · | 2017-08-09 09:13:01+00:00

I don't hate javascript for its quirks or implementation details, I hate what it has done to the experience of browsing the web, and now what it is doing to desktop software.
