I hate Node and NPM so much that I have a physical reaction to just seeing the words now.
I already disliked Node & NPM quite a bit, but the hatred and disgust got to the point it is now after having to write a CI/CD pipeline in Groovy/Jenkins for a Node site that that our devs were building. I had to automate the build/deployment of Satan’s favorite framework in Satan’s favorite language. I came pretty close to quitting.
It’s out the door now, but I’m in the middle of reimplementing the pipeline in Github Actions so I don’t drink myself to death when they come knocking to do it again.
I feel like a good portion of people hate many languages, tbh. This is at least partially because they’re often forced to use them based on company mandates, rather than their own volition.
Terrible type system, terrible standard library, terrible compatibility and lack of many features, compared to C# for example.
All of those things are by design and comparing JS to a fully fledged OOP language is just the sign of a clueless developer.
The JS standard is well defined and compatibility has nothing to do with the language itself
That makes it even worse.
Lots of languages are typeless and the standard library is weak because web (NodeJS is good but
npm
is shit)I hate Node and NPM so much that I have a physical reaction to just seeing the words now.

And this makes sane programmers sad.
You lost me at “compared to C#”. C# is pure garbage.
Can you elaborate on this?
I think the whole ecosystem around the language is enough to understand it sucks. The tools, the build system, etc. Plus, I don’t like Microsoft.
I mean old school Visual Studio made it restrictive in the past.
I figured with VS Code, .NET core, NuGet and stuff made it better.
I won’t fight back on MS hatred.
What’s wrong with the tools? Rider is the best IDE I’ve used, visual studio it’s that bad ether
