Written several SPA projects entirely in JavaScript, I mean front end and server side (node.js and NodeWebkit). The only code in the index.html file is just the header with a single index.js. The body is
<body></body> . All frameworks and partial pages are either dynamically loaded or generated by script. Did one large project entirely in TypeScript (version: 0.85+ beta).
Whenever I'd chance to code in C# or C++, I miss the "Duck-type" in scripting language.
I used to curse JS when start out but learned to embrace it and even learned to like it (not sure if I want to say love it).

I'm just curious. Are those 40%+ do not work on Web development at all? Or we should rephrase the question to something like "Which compile-to-Javascript languages do you use regularly for web related development?"

Nope Never. There is a world outside Web too.

F#, using Fable!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have all these survey results linked? Like the correlation between antisocial tendencies and scripting languages, or job satisfaction and programming languages used, to name a couple?

I hate them all.
Such an unstructured... pile-of-text... I would not even call that a "language". But that's my personal oppinion. I can't find a single thing I like to use.
But don't give too much on that oppinion of mine. I hate the Web, Html and all that interpreted stuff as much as I do with script languages...
Sometimes there is contact - can't avoid it. But hate it every single time.

If you don't like CodeProject just come out and say it!
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

My apologies
I was not exact. I hate it *when I have to develop for it*
But I couldn't live without it as a *user*
Better?

Sounds like backtracking to me.. the heavies (Chris and Griff) are already on their way to sort you out though!

I also hated them.....
but I think now I am getting used to them and some of them aren't that bad, e.g. Javascript - once you understand it well... it is really a not bad programming language.
Had to "love" them as you can't avoid web dev nowadays, especially in my region

But Javascript is unavoidable when I have to set/get values to/from my asm.js application.
|

Out of curiosity, what are you working on?

My hobby project which is OpenGL photo montage application which user can upload photos and it basically shows the photos with some special effects. The C++ application use OpenGL ES 2.0 while the asm.js use WebGL 1.0, so I can only use features which are found both in OpenGL and WebGL. When C++ application can run successfully, it does not automatically mean asm.js do too. So whenever I make a major change, I test with desktop and mobile web browser to make sure nothing is broken.

That's interesting. Thanks.

just because I feel unsafe and unorganized without types.
I would like to use TypeScript directly in the browser side.
However, for server side programming I prefer C#.
Wake up! The Singularity is coming.

I do quite some work in JavaScript and I do like some aspects of the language, but most of the time it's just a real PITA...
Especially since a lot of people mistake it for Java or C# while it is something completely different! Yes, "123" == 123 and no "123" === 123, but people don't know about === anyway. Or prototype. Or arrays (no, you do not need an array to get something hashmap-like and no, arrays do not have to be instantiated using the constructor).
And then there's the code I had to work with that took loose typing very loose. It had a function that returned an array, string or integer depending on the input. Undocumented. I simply had to try all sorts of input and hope it worked.
JavaScript is like a book that starts out like "A is for Apple". Unfortunately B is for Banging your head against your desk because someone never got past the first page and thought they got it because this is just like Java or C#!
That said, I sometimes miss how easy the language can be if you do it right when working in C# (must... not... use... dynamic...)

...in Mordor where the shadows lie...
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
