Ask HN: What programming language used to build websites is deprived of fatigue?

2 points by lukaszkups 9y ago ↗ HN

Like in title - in the last years I've noticed that javascript has its own fatigue, Ruby with Rails framework too (a bit), I see it also in Python + Django (Python 2 vs Python 3) and PHP (a lot apps to maintain that works on old PHP version).

Is there currently any backend technology that doesn't have such problems?

No. Eventually you have to interface with JavaScript, and then the suck begins.

I wish web programming wasn't such a dumpster fire, start to finish. It makes me long for the days of native desktop fat clients.

fatigue sets in when you are very familiar with the problems related in your discipline, in such cases you often get fatigue even moving between languages/frameworks because even though you are learning something new you are very familiar with the problems you are solving.
