My point was that JS is so much like C++/C#/Java that you do not really need to learn anything new. If you know any of those languages you can already hack JS.

Control flow, method invocations, variables, arrays, boolean logic operators, and general syntax are similar enough that you can look at the JS code and figure out what it is doing.
"We figured pretty much everybody knows JavaScript" Haha, that's funny. I guess all of the world's software runs on the web and is written in Silicon Valley. Oh wait, what's that you say, some programmers actually work on all those weird machines like satellites, assembly lines, medical devices, power plants, and even my car?! People actually write new operating systems, compilers, web servers, load balancers, and de…
Hey there, one of the creators of the site here. When we put this line on the site we never expected it to be this controversial! It isn't meant to be a universal truth, it's just in terms of a "website you join via pull request." So, perhaps better written as: "Almost everybody who works on a website knows JavaScript." The satellite that you join via pull request can be written in whatever you want :)
"Pull me up, Scotty!"

"Almost everybody who works on a website knows JavaScript." That I can agree with.

Of course, the semicolons. Neither assembly nor python use semicolons, so by my logic they must be identical too? Control flow, method invocations, variables, arrays, boolean logic operators, and general syntax are similar enough that you can look at the JS code and figure out what it is doing.
Yea, they still have a workflow problem that was never solved: https://github.com/larvalabs/pullup/pull/5 On the bright-side at least the project is MIT. Good ol' MIT.
Already solved same-day: https://github.com/larvalabs/pullup/pull/11 But never implemented / merged. Surprised the powers-that-be are resisting the most elegant solution. Then again, I came up with it, so I remain bitter and biased :)
The old saying, "don't fix it if it ain't broke."

I think the logic is that the current way isn't a big problem now that there is a standard of how you add your username to the file, and has allowed for some flexibility on the membership. The old saying, "don't fix it if it ain't broke."

Have you read the issue? The problem is that the current way things are done requires manual merge requests because of merge conflicts resulting from the updated userlist array. The github api method is 1:1 with the requirements of joining the community and leaves no room for human error (unless the person in charge of pull requests does not standardize their own process for automatic merges).
