Google Sheets
-
I had to write some scripts (=macro) for a google sheet handling the results of a google form, e.g. I made my first steps into javascript. I feel dirty now. What language is this ? It leaves you with the sad impression of "ok, it works, but, geeeez..."
It was designed for people who find VB too difficult to get right. X| Unfortunately, it escaped from the asylum and into the real world...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Welcome to the club. The 'ok, it works' feeling will quickly pass once you get to know it closer and then you will feel really dirty. :-) I have no idea what kind of masochist would want to do more than some trivial scripting on a website with it.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

That's how I (and many others?) feel about VBA.

Have a look at TypeScript[^]. It's typed javascript that compiles to regular javascript. I know, a monkey with a dress and lipstick is still a monkey, but you have to look at it from a distance. And it's actually the brainchild of Anders Hejlsberg, so I believe the monkey even has a wig.

Will the monkey buy me dinner? :laugh:

If you really want to get your feet wet with JS, then brace yourself, it's more functional than most OOP people are used to.

ECMA6 spec seems like a step in a right direction, though. Why, that monkey might now even get a hat and sunglasses! :-\

Javascript is awesome! :) ...until you find out that a browser update breaks it. :((

I agree, but now I'm happy with NodeJS, (almost) never to write browser JS again. However the most awesome features are the one known as "bad practice". It seems with a great power comes "what the **** is happening here?" thoughts.
