The first "prototype" of JavaScript--what you did there, I see it.

JS can rent a car now. When it drives off the road it doesn't crash, just erases the wheels and floats forward.

if(car.keyPress("brake")) {

 car.brake();

}

Uncaught type error: cannot read property 'length' of undefined

I feel like most people like JavaScript? It's probably the most popular language atm.

Stack overflow did a survey on this type of stuff. They had categories for both "popular" and "loved" languages. Javascript was the most popular, meaning it's used the most. In terms of loved it was about average.

Let's be fair - a large part of why it is so popular is because it's built-in to the browser. It's the only option for web programming.

And a lot of people hate it. Javascript on its own can not scale . You will need typescript to scale . But , its better than it used to be .

You don't need ts to scale, plenty did it without but it can make it easier

u/liaguris May 28 '20

yeah there are certain cases where ts is not needed (look at lodash for example) , but there are some other cases were that is not possible .
