How Do We Fix JavaScript?
Use TypeScript
Using php
Use less of it. We're demanding too much of our browsers with this shoehorning.

This.
Just stop.
Of course, the people who decide how much JS is used are the ones who get paid to develop sites with it.
Use more of it. Demand more and more from browsers until they are forced to be redesigned as a proper computing environment.

You can't just lay a massive load of shit like that on the table without explaining yourself.

>JavaScript is the only way these things could ever be done on any kind of possible browser
Well /thread then. Thanks, God.
JS cannot be fixed. You should create sites without JS.
Whole TOR works without JavaScript including social media, various shops, Bitcoin casinos, GitHublikes etc.
I2P control panel uses no JavaScript with apps like torrent and email clients.
Freenet with really advanced forums, social media and WebOfTrust system works without JavaScript.
JavaScript is useless in 99% of cases.
Typescript

Stop using it for every time little goddamn thing
Not every part of a website needs to be javascript
There's pretty much nothing left to fix and they're already working even on that.
Best way to go?
Single page app with a Node.js backend.

Wait for wasm to mature.
After that, JavaScript either improves or finds its replacement.

Why
On the subject of shit-talking Javascript:
Is http://eloquentjavascript.net/ a good learning resource?
>>59913088
It's a good book, yes. I consider it a must read for anyone who wants to seriously use Javascript. Consider this http://www.javascriptenlightenment.com/ as well, it covers JS and JS OOP pretty well,
and https://drboolean.gitbooks.io/mostly-adequate-guide/content/, if you're more inclined towards functional programming

your shitty irc circlejerk isn't a web authority. members of web authorities get paid actual money because they know what they're doing. upgrade from your P4, a C2D is $20 now. if we listened to losers like you, we'd be stuck in 1997 forever as you cite some bullshit unix standards, just because it was first doesn't mean it is some holy religious text, please fuck off
