                  9 out of 10 hates JavaScript. But if you have the right tools (debugging/diagnostics) then you should be fine :) PS: I also hate JS. Thanks to TypeScript for making my life less stressed! :laugh:

                    use some codechecker like jslint. It may suck sometimes, but it also helps. Do you know Swift? :~

                    I can only imagine the thousands of warning and errors produced by this project, which is built around Django and Backbone.

                      Nope - once you know what you are doing it's perfectly fine. [Edit] Except for floats.

                            10 minutes is fast to find that. I'm serious. I've had a single missing comma cost me over an hour. Painful.

                                      Of course that is not really Javascript's problem. I see plenty of stupid errors in Visual Studio. Sometimes when you have a mistake that means that a project does not compile there are a ton of others. Then there was the time that I had a WPF UserControl and the code behind did not see the names in the XAML. I would love to blame Javascript for this problem since I am not fond of the language for a number or reasons, but in this case I cannot.

                                      True - the ones that are worst are Linq errors - those errors messages usually have nothing to do with the actual error. Marc

                                        Marc man, what are you using for an IDE?

                                        I'm using Sublime. I suppose I could try VS Code, but then I have to figure out how to set it up to FTP saves over to the Ubuntu VM running the app. (Editing in Ubuntu sucks, one of many reasons being that the numeric keypad cursor keys don't work, and using the "T" is not something I ever got used to and cramps my fingers.)

                                          10 minutes is fast to find that. I'm serious. I've had a single missing comma cost me over an hour. Painful.

                                          Same here. It took forever to actually realize it even wanted a comma. That was in my n00b days working with Backbone. Sort of trial by fire, was asked to implement a bunch of pages on existing project, never used Backbone before. Marc
