Took me 10 minutes to find the error:
onProceed: funtion() {And of course, the only error I get isUncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token {So of course I wonder, where did I have a mismatched curly brace??? Wrong wonderment.

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

Nope. It's not so bad as people make it out to be... different yes. Bad... nope.

Marc man, what are you using for an IDE?
functionis a keyword and should be highlighted. You're making this hard on yourself man.Jeremy Falcon

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

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.)

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

I use Sublime also. It supports syntax highlighting. You having a rough day? :laugh: You need a hug? I can code one up for ya in JavaScript.

I am one that don't dislike javascript anymore, although I used to. In fact we just finished a quite complex system in which javascript plays a major role in both the server side and client side (see my signature) and it works quite well. As a matter of fact, I am feeling that the javascript codes we produced are more readable than the C# counter part (some of the equivalent logic were were realized in C# before) due to its functional style of representation

If that didn't make your half program red, you use the wrong IDE. In fact a simple editor that highlight keywords would detect that (Why is the "funtion" not highlighted?). When people used notepad (not notepad++) for programming they had all these problems with typos and semicolons. Those were difficult ancient times...

I once spend 15 minutes trying to write a simple Hello World in JavaScript. I had pretty much the same problem. Boy, do you feel stupid when you have years of experience and fail at Hello World :laugh: Luckily I now know the problem is JavaScript, not me :D I find JavaScript doable nowadays, but only when I don't have to deal with other people's code.

If you think that's bad - you should try missing a semicolon after a class definition in C++
