Could be worse, could be programming Javascript (or Typescript).

I love javascript. Shit. Just. Works.
Even if you, the programmer, are a complete fucking moron, by god javascript will try to make your program run as long as possible.
Javascript is a beautiful language where '3' - 1 = 2 but '3' + 1 = '31'.

Javascript doesn't "just work". It's a language originally designed to glue actions to html elements and it is fundamentally broken in ways that will be never be fixed. Weird syntax, weird type coercion, horrible base types & functions, surprises galore. Even Typescript, which is basically a precompiler, is just JS with some type checking. The only reason anyone uses either is because it is ubiquitous - people have to use it.
It's the greatest language on the planet.

Threads will literally punch you in the face
Like...through the monitor? How does that work? Is it an actual fist or some kind of mobile computer component?
