> JS sometimes feels like assembly

Every time I see this statement, I wonder what the Venn diagram of people who say so and people who have ever written a line of asm looks like.

I don't even get it. You write Javascript basically 1:1 the same as Python or Ruby. And I would argue it's even nicer in various cases, from destructuring to lambdas to async/await and first-class Promises.

I wonder if the people say they avoid JS at all costs because it's "like assembly" have been doing that so effectively since 2003 that they never even tried modern JS

See what I was saying in the OP about the average JS developer :)

It's not even their fault, it's all they know from those online courses or boot camps.
