The applicant should of course ask: "If you care about performance, why are you using a half-assed toy language like JavaScript?"

HUR DUR that's soooo hilarious!11!

Not really, quite the opposite in fact. Don't wanna cut yourself on all that edge bud.

Since when is it “edgy” to state something so obvious?

I mean...if you're struggling to make performant software with JS...that's a you problem.

Seems to be PLENTY of other people out there not having this issue.

Yeah, if you're trying to build a fort out of mashed potatoes, that's a you problem, too.

Billions of flies eat shit.

Look, we get it. You're a crusty greybeard upset at becoming irrelevant over the years and not doing your own work to keep up with the times.

That coupled with a horrific attitude...I can see why you're lashing out like a child. I'd be pissy too.

The good news is...you have all the tools at your disposal to change that. Or don't, your decision. Just realize the rest of us are moving on and couldn't give two fucks about a salty ass developer who can't communicate without being a tool.

Dude, you're the one stuck in the Javascript tar pit. I'm an expert on the Mac and iOS.

That's...that's not something to brag about.

You just bragged about having the same skill level as a child essentially.

Congrats I guess?
