Javascript was developed by north korean hackers to slow down development of american web infrastructure.
Yet another juche victory.
Juchescript
YOU WILL USE PYTHON FOR EVERYTHING 
At least JS has a lot of TypeScript support, I wish making an existing Python project statically typed was as easy as using TypeScript.
Rust stays on top.
Static typing is bourgeois foppery. Real proles enjoy Python's ultradynamic typing that lets you jam any object into anything
My first laugh, today, and today was ten years long. Thanks!
So like rust is better no question. But type script is just bad. Like hear me out. JS is awful, complex frameworks were built. Then TS was built. Then TS got just put on top of a framework. Shit just doesn't work. If you go interpreted go python..
Right, I have more experience on the server side (honestly the fact that Node exists at all is already a travesty) so I was thinking more in terms of writing a Node server with TS or writing it in Python with one of the various Python web server frameworks. For the client side it's gonna be painful no matter what, I don't think Rust web assembly is really gonna be easier to make a full project with than one of the regular web frameworks.
Fair point. I compared the most common usecases of python and JS.
Writing some random desktop application with python is actually quite nice. Distribution is easy and if you use the type system properly it doesn't really matter that it is not statically typed (with my 7 years of python experience I can assure you, most people don't use it properly). The standard libraries are really good. Where it can be annoying is managing your environments, but if you somewhat know what your doing its also really easy. Where these applications get finniky is, adding an ui. You either gonna use tkinter which looks just awful, qt or GTK. If using the last two it gets really annoying to package them.
With JS everything will be awful. As for UI you'd use electron which is arguably even worse than tkinter.
As for writing web server with a Python Backend vs JS Backend I can't really argue with you there. Node is literally made for that so yea. However python Webservers are not that bad as people make them seem. They are quite good. Go is the right tool for the job though
Frontend is not a fair comparison, because you need to do sooo much fuckery to even get python support, and then you got a webassembly interpreter that still calls the JS Dom API shit.
I have no problem with this you know. It's a flexible language
I was gonna say "Sounds like satire" until I saw the community name. Silly me, of course it is!
Hell yeah! Every JS website should be bulldozed and developers should be given hard-labor in Ouagadougou
Now make rust the national coding language
@acute_kernel_panic What he actually banned was porn, in case anyone was curious. Which I'm always on the fence about, there's a lot of nuance to it, though it's true that likely not much good comes out of its proliferation.
I think in a general sense, there's an important difference between porn that involves real people and porn that is essentially just fiction writing or cartoon drawings with no direct reference to real people. I say general though, because I'm sure cultural context can override this for various reasons. Western Christian capitalist culture is likely not quite the same as Burkinabe culture, for example. In the west, it tends to be reactionaries who are more so pushing anti porn and then on top of some of them being notable hypocrites about it anyway, you also get the stuff where they're pushing it not because of harm it can do to women, but because of nonsense about it "weakening" men or whatever.
As personal views, I don't think porn between real people has any social need to exist and probably does majority harm than good in the expectations it creates about sex, without even getting into the harm it can do to "models". But porn as fictional erotic stuff without real people in it, it's hard to imagine some people not doing that as a casual thing, whether they share it or not, and that often seems to be more about fantasies than about presenting something like a real sexual relationship. Though even then, it can lead people astray to a point. I remember some kerfuffle about Fifty Shades of Grey movie from the BDSM community because they felt that it was misrepresenting what a consenting relationship of that kind can and should look like.
What's a kerfluffle?
Here is one definition:
a disturbance or commotion typically caused by a dispute or conflict
I guess a more common way people would say it, is there was some drama/outrage/controversy about it.
I’m not against art with explicit sexual content, but pornography causes more harm than good imo.
