Started learning JS recently for a side project.
Prior languages programmed in involve python, PHP, minimal C++
Why did no one tell me this language was comfy as fuck?
And no I don't use a framework.
Nice blog
describe why it is comfy

I've posted several times in the past that JS is a good beginner language.

JS is pretty comfy to work with, but do you want to take this thread towards an actual JS discussion, OP?
>>53837569
Sure thing, general JS thread
One thing I'm currently uncertain about is how tedious the application of JS into web front-end is going to be
From previous web dev experiences, I am convinced that web developers are masochists

I'm a full stack web developer. I try to avoid tediousness and repetition in my code / work, though I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this though, so perhaps you could clarify. Tedious in which ways?
>>53837678
It's pretty fucking tedious. Unless you're a master of all trades and know everything about the DOM, CSS, and all the historical reasons for why things are they way they are, you're constantly trying to "just make things work"
>>53837216
No shit. JavaScript is one of the best popular languages.
>>53837678
I have my girlfriend doing web design/html and I add the functionality
I get to do the js, she does the design, it's perfect.

Since you're going to be stuck with JS at some point in your life, if you happen to hate it, try this.
It's got a rather shitty type system. But otherwise, it isn't terrible. Still, there are many languages I'd rather work in.

Isn't Ruby already dead in webdev scene? Rails is absolute shit when it comes to performance.
There is even more comfier languages out there OP
