"Language has nothing to do with this."

Great, thanks. Hey, by any chance do you think there's no single greatest language, and that people should use the right tool for the job? Terrific, me too.

Saying "language has nothing to do with this" misses the point of this post entirely. It's about how people bring the same unwieldy practices wherever they go regardless of the language.




The title of the post was "you have ruined javascript" and I maintain that JS has in-fact not been ruined just the same as all other languages haven't.

Abstraction bloat in libraries is not something that's specific to languages and a language can't be ruined by libraries suffering from abstraction bloat (unless all of them suffer cough java cough)
