Yeah, gonna have to disagree. If I had to choose between JS and Python, I'd shoot myself in the head.

[–] Llewellyn@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

So you choose JS.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Python is cool IMO, got loads of libraries and gets your little app up in notime.

Not for larger projects though.

JavaScript is like the unsafest language I have touched in the last 20 years, yikes!

Still would use it as a web front end instead of python ofc.

I've only used python as a bash alternative for scripting, even though I've heard it's capable of more. Can you explain what makes it bad for larger/frontend projects?

Before 3.9 the lack of type hints made it a nightmare for large projects. Strong typing is, among other benefits, a way of self documentation and helps IDEs with auto-complete. If I use Python I always use type hints and if I have to use JS sigo with Typescript instead

[–] pazukaza@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Python without type hints is torture. I always need to have the fucking docs opened for anything, and if the docs are bad you're screwed, get ready to read the source code. Like fucking hell man, just let me autocomplete this shit...

Well, it's not like you have any option. Browsers only run Javascript, right?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well you can do it the 'old' way serving front (pages) from the back like PHP did it.

[–] pazukaza@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Ah ok, server side rendering with no JS. I mean, server-side rendering is good. But a front with no JS? Idk, the page would feel pretty outdated. I wonder if there modern front-ends with zero js.

What languages did you use 2 decades before?

Turbo Pascal, Go, assembler and Basic I guess :-D
