Why does he whistle every time he's pronouncing "S"

Time for Douglas to move on and do something else, and the rest of us can keep making money and happy customers.

Yup, we should only create new super language and rewrite all the browsers and frontend apps in the Internet - easy peasy lemon squeezy

Another piece of life advice - never trust the advice from someone who has a questionable moral character. Chances are their bad behavior has earned them consequences and there's nothing they'd love more than to have you suffer the same consequences as them. If a guy has been arrested, don't take legal advice from him. He may know what he did wrong but that doesn't mean he'll be honest to you. No, asking an undercover cop if they're an undercover cop doesn't work nor does chugging hard liquor before a breathalyzer. If a guy is a deadbeat dad paying child support every month, don't take his advice. He'll tell you women are evil and they'll ruin your life with a child and that you should try to get your kid killed if your girlfriend gets pregnant. What he's not saying is that he's in the position he's in because he did what he's telling you to do. Seen too many people fall for that one.

The question is what alternatives do web developers have? The browsers/the web would need to change first

It's because of business buzzwords acronyms like KPI and MVP you don't churn out the "minimum viable product" to upkeep "key performance indicators" by taking time to develop your own thing that might lead to better long term outcomes. Stocks need to go brrrrr now. Yeah it's unsustainable and is leading to software degradation and feature bloat overtime.

The problem is that people always want backwards compatibility. As tempting as it might be, you can't just throw out everything and start fresh.

For anyone reads @MrAgame13 comments. I mean, don't why we stop using it and move on creating new ones ? as he said, it should have been expired. And the thing that javascript developers do is just mending broken wounds, they keep it up-to-date but instead of giving new solutions, they give it more problems and the language itself will never be sustainable and run out of errors. If javascript is only the language that makes you money, you should have some self-reflection. IT is not for those who wants a sustain.

We need a replacement then. We can't stop using it if it is still the simplest option even though it sucks

heart touching..<3

Has he got long hair now? Nice.

Never heard so many men talking with a vocal fry. Node JS? More like Node GАУАSS lololol amirite lololol

🌞👍💛

Tbf he oddly DOES look like the creator of C++...

The fact that he makes his thumbnails on figma just shows how much of a legend my boy Jeff is

It has never been about the language. It’s all about the great things you create with it. Let’s not get too attached with the tools, but focus on the craft.

Thanks for the video

Bjarne - YOU ARE THE MAN! If you had not invented classes and object there would be no AI today ;)

This is the guy who thinks syntax coloring is for toddlers.

Be good and do not allow AI to replace your mind and intellect.

He's right. I come from a time when there was no such thing as a front end, back end or full stack developer. We were just software engineers and we used whatever tools were available to do the job. Many times we had to learn new skills. These days if you haven't got one particular skill, companies may pass over you. But the reality is, you should be an all rounder and picking up a new skill is simply part of the job often learned on the job. Also, back then we didn't have QA engineers. We tested things ourselves.

It's pushing it to say there's a clean way to do programming, but certainly things can be changed so we can have a novel set of congenital defects so we can deal with a new set of congenital defects on top of the previous sets of congenital defects.

I feel like now that AI is finally here, adaption of new languages will be even more difficult, since ai will be generating all the code and all the good practices that the ai got trained on was on these existing languages

I agree with him

Great interview. First Bjarne interview I've watched!

No

Wish there was some ReasonML context here - it would be nice to hear why Facebook engineers think it didn't take off despite being perfect language to write React.

As a team of one I just go with whatever works best, I don't give these things much thought

Let's bring Lua to the browser.

The thing is it's too convenient to do everything in one language. Sure, there are a lot of languages that are better in some way, but there's probably not that many languages that can do both frontend and backend and be popular enough to find experts for.

well that's called being human

If your code repeats this is the biggest mistake you make. If micro services fix this problem, it's an angel, if not it's a devil.

The issue is with the web browsers, right? The browsers are already like a virtual machine, but why do they only support JavaScript? Why do people work so hard to create workarounds like reactjs, instead of adding support for a new language?

There is really no alternative for javascript (web)...

Can we get a documentary on how Laravel started?

Notice that you did not give really any justification or pros/cons. As is, pretty useless video.

You say that it is best to have a broad education and then you say that what you have spent your life doing has to do only with computers: language, machine architecture, operating systems...

aha.. a broadcasting voice he "Developed" over the years.. I see u AI Jeff

El fertilizante de los lenguajes es el dinero y la comunidad. Ambos están en las manos de las grandes tecnológicas. Así que la prrgunta es para Microsoft, Google y estas. ¿Por qué no quieren dar el siguiente paso? Y la IAG supongo que tiene mucho que ver en la respuesta si fuera sincera, PERO no tanto. En fin. Sigan, no me voy a enfadar ya.

This guy looks like he is sick of Javascript

Guys let's rewrite the whole internet in rust.

imo, "microservices" are one of the worst conputing concepts, brought to life by smart people to make money by unneccessary / over complicating software systens and then creating and selling tools to companies to cope with the mess.

Welp so much for diversity, well, it is what it is.

Mess -- Muslim already -- that be - your intel then -- ID!

SC -- South Carolina -- Statute of -- many "Cat Burgler!" southern Cal -- has many!

these documentaries are so amazing🌟

amazing 👌🏻✨🌟

He's not wrong. JS has a lot of good stuff, but also a lot of "WTF". "Smelly language" is an apt description. But at the moment it's almost the only option for frontend dev (I'm not really counting TypeScript as a separate option, although it does improve the dev experience for me). When WebAssembly started to emerge, I thought it would be the beginning of the end for JS, and that people would be able to do frontend dev with any language they like as long as it could be compiled to WASM, but it's not really getting traction yet.

As an iOS dev I was almost fired for going on a rant like this in front of our back-end guys like 5 years ago. Mofos should have listened… 4 useless guys trying to tame a simple crud fastapi server drowning in dozens of microservices that could have been just a function Sometimes I wonder am I a shitcoder or a genius from the future.😅

htmx!, joins the chat....
