I write A LOT of javascript.<p>I would not discourage you from learning it at all, in fact I highly encourage it if you are starting out.<p>HOWEVER...<p>You really need to understand the limitations of the language.<p>It is poorly designed.
It is infuriating to work with.<p>As far as the js ecosystem is concerned:<p>The community is fragmented and largely unreliable.
The workplace is becoming increasingly saturated.<p>At the end of the day you should just learn what you want to learn, and like you said &quot;fuck the haters&quot;. That&#x27;s why I started learning Haskell a few months back and I&#x27;m really enjoying it.<p>The longer you blame ridicule and others opinions for your procrastination, the longer you will regret not learning to code.
