my first exposure to javascript was in a grad class where we had to run a RT experiment and my group did it in JS...no problem

My first exposure was back when I was 11 in 1999.

I see people hating on Atom or Slack so much... but like they are good apps and pretty.

-
I do like the slack app. I just wish it didn't eat up an entire CPU core and half my ram when someone posts an animated party parrot react
-
I mean. Fair.

Also, I'm not like in some way privileged or anything. *hides*pic.twitter.com/fqykE2xV7R

I've never known JS to be slow (great JIT), but it is not free of... peculiarities. Have you seen: https://youtu.be/g1makJ5JSUI ?

.....who’s currently tweeting about software bloat outpacing hardware improvements....we’ve come full circle

ohhhhh it’s the “birth and death of JavaScript” asm.js guy https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death-of-javascript …

That talk is an epic, curious thing. I don’t even know quite how to categorize it.
-
I really like this guy's presentation style. For real, I also often use memes.

js has been far from slow since the JIT v8 engine. node.js is way faster than any python interpreters, even pypy
-
I use JS for everything, even
#AI, juiced with a little R for offline analysis and CoffeeScript for readability. Fastest setup I’ve used. -
Also amazing for deployment. Synaptic, for example, exports trained NNs as pure JS functions. Wish more
#AI tools thought about deployment -
the ease and consistency of installing or deploying node.js modules and applications is a huge plus for
#js development
