Is the javascript of this site minified?
It might not be well documented but it's still human readable and it the slowness is actually a pro considering how every fucking retard web developer wants to execute his fucking viruses on your machine.
Javascript has the big gay, any good alternatives for a frelancer?
user, there's no way you're going to be able to convince me that a programming language being slow is a good thing.
It's a good thing when you can close the page that randomly opened before you get infected.
Websites should only consist of the page, first party css and media content.
For everything else there are links and other applications.
Yeah trying to reverse engineer a 60K line JavaScript file full of single letter variables and a callback hell 8-levels deep, might as well be fucking machine code.
After doing some more research I believe that Scala & Scala.Js look like the most profitable path forward (along with knowing how to use the React VDOM and component APIs) You can use it for CSS too. Being purely functional, strongly typed, and having a reputation of being more "academic" and "difficult to master" seems to give it natural hipsterfag tranny repellent. With its über Jar packaging, and being able to obfuscate/shrink for serverless or targeting Android looks pretty great.
Fuck you god damn webster!
Scala.Js isn't a Javascript library It transpiles to Js. It actually obviates the need for Js libraries and all of the NPM/Yarn cancer. I was an automation and systems sw dev but unfortunately webdev is a necessary evil as a freelancer to get sheckles. At least with Scala I would have more opportunities targeting the JVM outside of web shit.

Why not learn proper JS and write that?
What for? Mobile shit?
You clearly know nothing about Javascript to ask that question.
I've written a shitton of Node and JQuery and:
1. It's a terrible, bolted together language in general.
2. It's packaging systems are pure aids and riddled with bugs and exploits
3. It's low barrier to entry (easy to learn in a weekend) means it's replete with smug low-IQ wammen, brogrammers, and webfags who write shitty code that you'll ultimately have to deal with - everywhere you go.
4. It has no legitimate purpose outside of the browser - and that only due to its monopoly there
5. Javascript in the browser is cancer
Wut? Do you know anything about the Jvm? I mean sure that's an option, but I'd argue that's just a minority of the use cases. (see the link for one example)
