I donโ€™t like/use the class keyword in JS, because I quite like the paradigm with prototypes & stuff, and that keyword tries to make it fit into a totally different paradigm, which doesnโ€™t really work IMHO.

I've read somewhere that Javascript is more of a prototype-oriented language rather than an object-oriented one. Do you agree with this?

BTW, Iโ€™ve developed a few strats to have my own style in TS that I like quite a lot. I can tell more if youโ€™re interested.

Thank you! But maybe not right now; I'm still learning the basics. Have you considered write an article about it? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Yes. Spiders are the superior web developers. They're especially good at eliminating bugs.

TypeScript is next on my list. The loose typing of JavaScript drives me a little nuts sometimes ๐Ÿ˜….

Hello, everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹. I am a newcomer when it comes to JavaScript. I come from an OOP background (C# and Java). I've recently learned that ES6 has a class keyword that preforms similarly (but not exactly) to common OOP languages. Normally I would be inclined to use this feature in my projects; however, it came to my attention that the usage of class in JavaScript seems to be heavily discussed (mostly in a negative light). My questions to this community are:

  • Should it be used often, sparingly, or be outright avoided?
  • What are its advantages and disadvantages?
  • Are there specific cases where the usage of class excels?

Please share your thoughts.

You would think that being named Null would probably cause a problem. But Jeffrey? lol

I'm starting to learn full-stack development. This meme scares me, ngl.

The guy sitting on the chair is exactly how I felt when one of my friends explained what microservices they use for their company web application lol
