I mean: it is a writing error, because you can’t compare “class based” to OOP, since they are just different things, but this is what is suspect was the case ;)

Object oriented languages can be either class based or prototype based. Java is class based, JS was back then prototype based

This clearly shows how chaotic development of javascript really was.

It has always been like:

1. Design a language for small browser scripts
2. People suddenly start using it somewhere else
3. It turns out it does not fit to where people try to use it
4. Hundreds of frameworks appear to fix this, milion standards appear, people fight for years to work out a single go-to solution
5. Return to point 2

Why do everyone emphasize the fact that it is Rust based? What difference does it make? Personally, I don’t care whether it’s written in Rust, Cobol or Brainfuck. Badly written software would be buggy no matter the language.

A few things to point out:

• Microsoft created this extension and pays money to develop it
• Despite that, they give it to programmers for free. It is still free of charge.
• They explicitly said that using it outside of their products is forbidden (according to article: at least 5 years ago), they just didn’t enforce it
• Someone (here: Cursor developers), despite that, used it in their products and started to make money from it

What exactly are you mad at? When will programming community finally understand that Microsoft is not a non-profit company and its primary purpose is to make money?

Is talking on Lemmy ok?
