nobody uses vanilla JS ever
Do you guys know what javascript frameworks might be useful for?

That's a poor attempt at FUD. PL/I is still a main language for mainframes (along with Cobol), Multics was used until 2000, and IBM made PL/I for Windows and OS/2.
I brought those discussions back.
Maybe, but I haven't seen any. The good software is a ripoff or port from another OS. The interesting ideas came from Multics and other operating systems and were better in the original OSes. There were some OSes that improved things, but with UNIX, it's always worse, like they can't even understand what the other OS did and what they're trying to accomplish.

The next time UNIX weenies mention simplicity, keep in mind that this is the kind of thing they mean. This explains the UNIX weenie's aversion to libraries. Even the shitty form of static linking using "ar" was a bolted on hack. The name of that file, by the way, was "a.out".
Pipes weren't an original UNIX idea either, they just took the existing IPC method of streams or channels and limited them to sequences of bytes, just like UNIX limited files to sequences of bytes.
A high quality garbage collector is a couple thousand lines of code, which is nowhere near the size of all this C and UNIX bullshit.
If a vendor decides to do something about the crassinadequacies of UNIX we should give them three cheers, notstart a flame war about how the DIRECTORY command *must*forever and ever be called ls because that is what the greattin pot Gods who wrote UNIX thought was a nice, clear namefor it.The most threatening thing I see in computing today is the"we have found the answer, all heretics will perish"attitude. I have an awful lot of experience in computing, Ihave used six or seven operating systems and I have evenwritten one. UNIX in my view is an abomination, it hasserious difficulties, these could have been fixed quiteeasily, but I now realize nobody ever will.At the moment I use a VMS box, I do so because I find that Ido not spend my time having to think in the "UNIX" mentalitythat centers around kludges. I do not have to tolerate ahelp system that begins its insults of the user by beinginvoked with "man".

you people need to stop engage/encouraging him. Don't feed the trolls.

Not remotely. For a couple years after the 2014 GG migration we had a lot of Lisp and Ada discussion, discussion which died after you showed up and one of the bigger /g/ migrations happened. Fucking no one discusses Ada here anymore outside brief namedrops in Rust threads and Lisp is relegated to a single thread of salty fags who can't even write a text editor.
...Which is still the fastest way to read files on most non-solid state storage mediums. The exceptions I've heard people bring up only apply to fucking massive files where jumping ahead is faster than reading sequentially, in which case you're doing something horribly wrong. Just because pipes aren't that great doesn't mean we should cripple overall file reading performance to satisfy someone's anti-Unix salt.

Their good if your a low effort person who wants things to just werk without using your brain.
