I'm sorry - I've been "listening" to this group for quite a while
now. I've been refraining from answering or making comments for one
reason, and one reason only: Egotistical, higher-than-thou, you-aught-
to-know-better members' responses.
I can live with the spam (rather not, but) there are some in this
community that I truly respect. There are others though that are just
killing my interest in the group. I belong to more online communities
than you can shake a stick at, but for "attitude," this is - by far -
the worst. I remain a subscriber only because I need those tidbits
that actually help me.
Why is it that so many simple questions (perhaps "obfuscated" by
language or personality barriers) become twisted into "you're so
stupid you shouldn't even be posting" arguments?
I spent the first 10 years of my "programming life" learning - and
understanding - BASIC. Then I branched out, applying what I had
learned to a dozen other languages. I personlly think JS would make a
wonderful beginners language if this groups' postings (as a whole;
even "on average!") were more open and less hostile.
Personally, I subscribed to this group because I need help with my
project, Atomic OS, whose core is written entirely in JS, but when I
asked my initial questions I was met with the same style of response
that are the motivation for this post.
What ever happened to the saying "You'll catch more flies with honey
than vinegar?"
Call me a troll - I couldn't care less - but f@!k - if you want JS to
be considered a "mature" programming language - then act like it and
be professional.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm just out of my skull with some of the
things I've read from this group in the last two days. No finger
pointing, No identification. Just one request: Please listen, and
where you can *help* - don't *hinder*
