Today’s JavaScript, from an outsider’s perspective (2020)
sounds like the same experience I have with pretty much every language I&#x27;m not used to.<p>I just want to try this C++, download, unzip, oh it&#x27;s windows so .project file. Fine, redo on windows , oh it&#x27;s 3 versions of vstuido old and says it wants to upgrade , okay. Hmm errors. Try to fix. Now it&#x27;s getting linking error.<p>repeat the same with xcode and any project in c, c++, objc, swift<p>okay how about ruby? oh I have old ruby , hmmm , try to install new ruby, seems to run, but it can&#x27;t find certain gems or something. oh and this other ruby thing I was using is now broken ? why do I have to install this stuff globally? You don&#x27;t but there are several magic spells you must execute and runes you must set in the rigtt places. Oh ... I think I got that setup but it getting this new error.<p>....<p>I&#x27;m sypathetic it sucks but it&#x27;s not unique to js
