It is just much more difficult to have tooling since the tools cannot know for sure what the program is doing (and neither can another human looking at it).

You are entitled to your opinion but many developers disagree and want some more structure in the programming model. The very fact that many people are trying so hard to come up wi…

Go to function definition, refacor/rename, find references, view object / class hierarchy, and so on. Why not have all this work 100% of the time? Tooling makes your life so much e…

Because these "loose and freeform" attributes make your life hell building large applications with large teams.

I agree. Visual design is like fashion and flatter is now "in". There are pros (cleaner, less distracting chrome) and cons (where is the button).

I feel like on the overly skeuomorphism to overly flat / no affordances spectrum, Android Jellybean is striking the right balance. It's modern and clean and flat but doesn't take i…

The class made total sense to me. This is common stuff in enterprise software world.

Both make my Core i7 CPU go to 100% for a simple animation of 100 small circles. I thought HTML5 was going to solve all performance problems and make me breakfast too. Wonder if th…

No I don't but my point is that 2 years seems a bit slow as far as evolution of JS is concerned.

Is it really not out for 2 years? Really? That seems like a long time for not that much changes. Any improvement is welcome, but still. I don't know if this will keep pace with Dar…

People love new things and the story of the new guy overtaking the evil status quo. Node and JS in general seems very hyped right now. Every day there is a new blog about accomplis…

Yes I like the direction dart is going in (except would prefer the type system had more actual meaning than just annotations for tooling, but still). My pipe dream: - Google implem…

No real classes. No type systen (optional at least would be good). No packages. No modules. No generics. No annotations, mix-ins, actors. No properties. No interfaces. No abstract …

There is a increasing trend: many people do not want to code in JavaScript. This is happening because more and more engineers with experience in other languages are forced to deal …

I don't think you can dismiss someones dislike for a language as "they don't know how to use it". Common, many people have been building applications on client and server for 15+ y…

Agreed.

JS has lots and lots of fundametal issues. Weird OO implementation (argue all you want but prototype inheritance is not what the prevailing wisdom is on how to do OO), no type syst…

A byetcode/VM approach would be an improvement on the web client. This has been used successfully for 10+ years on the server (JVM, CLR), so why not learn from things and advance t…
