Why Does Everyone Think Javascript Is Hard? by chukwuebuka65(m): 7:48pm On Jul 08, 2022
I dont get it. is it the same javascript that I am learning or is there another version of javascript. If javascript is hard I wonder what they will say when they get into frameworks , libraries and data structures and algorithms . Pls programming is easy, if u understand the concepts.

So what will you use when they get to this aspect... Is it not same JavaScript assuming JavaScript is what they're learning?

Yes they will use javascript plus other technologies . If u are finding javascript alone hard, what happens when u combine it with other technologies. And my concern is that it’s not even the advanced javascript topics they complain about, just the fundamentals. Ones they are finished with html and css, immediately they start javascript, u will start hearing javascript is hard, thereby , discouraging others who want to learn. And this makes me angry. I am making this post out of annoyance because I just saw another comment on a Facebook post saying javascript is hard. If javascript ( that has a lot of things abstracted away from the developer ) is hard , what about those writing low level languages like C and C++. Pls u guys should stop making such comments

Well...you should learn to understand most things are relative.

What you consider easy for you may be confusing to others.

JavaScript is confusing for beginners at first.

If more people are complaining that it's confusing, then it's truly confusing at first.

That you don't find it confusing doesn't change that fact...

It's important to also note some may know how to fix an issue.

But interpreting Logic with JavaScript will become a challenge... So many similar ways to do same thing...

JavaScript wasn't hard for me, JavaScript was even my first language. People say JavaScript is hard because compared to HTML and CSS it's a different breed, the switch from design to logic is quite dramatic. Personally I'd rather code C++ than touch CSS. Generally programming is pretty easy, programming to solve problems is what's hard, software engineering's even harder.

Lol...for a beginner, javascript will be hard. Even the acclaimed-simplest, python, will look hard for anyone who has no programming experience. But for someone with a ready-made programming ground, no programming language is hard.

I wonder how far these type of people will go in programming. With all this new tech poping up every minute in the industry, with so many things to learn, I wonder how they will keep up.

Well, some of them still manage to pull through. I do think this is one of the reasons there's a surge of new front end developers, most newbies want the avoid the problem solving aspect of programming, rip to them.

Anybody complaining that javascript is hard, with all the articles, blog posts, video tutorials and documentations out there , actually should not have anything to do with programming , period.

Like seriously CSS's a pain, it's what's hinders me from going fullstack, I don't want to be assigned CSS tasks.

Very ironic from someone who finds CSS annoying and a pain.
We may then conclude frontend is as confusing to you as how backend is confusing to them...

grin I just find CSS annoying not confusing, besides CSS is just a part of frontend dev, I know react too. Also I was already doing Leetcode when I started HTML and CSS, so there's that. I've heard horror stories of backend devs who switched to full stack, the general theme is they mostly get assigned frontend tasks.

Most people that think that JavaScript is hard don’t have any single knowledge of Java.


For someone to find JavaScript interesting to learn,he/she must have an in-depth Knowledge of how Java works and how to apply it’s OOP(Object Oriented Style of Programming).


Same Applies to Python,C# and C++

Re: Why Does Everyone Think Javascript Is Hard? by emetisuccess(m): 9:44am On Jul 09, 2022
There's no high level programming language that is hard, it's only hard when u want to be faster than ur shadow. I have lay hands on c++, visual basic, JavaScript, nodejs, python, PHP, vuejs, jQuery, C. Etc. Currently using PHP, MySQLi, jQuery, AJAX, JavaScript etc. Just understand the concept and syntax, u are good to go. They have the same pattern.

wink I didn’t take a course or tutorial to know css is not for me grin.
I just read through some codes I saw online and I knew it wasn’t for me cheesy.
I don’t have interest in anything css or designing generally.

Ok sir but I don’t think anybody writes low level language like “assembly “ . So I assume our mid level language to be the new low level language.

You always see your personal point of view as the general point of view.

You assume Js is easy so u think everyone should feel same way.
You assume mid level languages to be the new low level language so u feel everyone should be subservient and feel same way too..

i bet you cant even solve easy level questions on leetcode and youre a total beginner who haven't done any meaninful project
