Kinda disappointing set of points they try to make. And I say that as a long-time JS programmer who’s inclined to agree with the thesis. :-p

> JavaScript is easy to learn > Although many people say Python is easier to learn than JavaScript, that’s not true for people with a programming mindset. JS basics can be learned in just months, and with a year of dedication, a person can start earning decent money with their skills. Wat?

Clickbait article. I respect the hustle, but it’s not worth the time imo.

Oh, that’s easy. It’s the knowledge, possessed only by the true programmer, that [] + 1 obviously evaluates to "1".

I just realised that javascript article is from the IEEE computer society. I expected better. Then I checked their free ‘computing edge’ but top two headline articles were blockchain and cryptocurrency. :sob:
