I'm just going to blacklist this kind of website. I get that they need advertising to survive. But taken to this extreme, it's just disrespectful to their readers.

I even think that with the polarization of the world and the new global crisis coming, people might realise the ever growing need of decentralization, and we might see the real birth of web3 technologies. (Not speaking about meme coins =))

Isn't the future uncertain since the creation of Bitcoin? I'd like to be obliterated like I've been with BTC going through multiple global crisis :)

Sadly enough, I found that the best way to cancel my NYT subscription was actually to cancel my payment card on which the payment was made...

Indeed, but the crypto keyword made us click on the article. Otherwise it would have been quite a common article with some commonsense advices on basic web security...

Could have been great to see the GAFAM agree to finance GitHub to remain an independant platform.

Now, I can't imagine the GAFA let their open source projects on GitHub...

Last year, he was one of the 18 authors to be published, while still alive, in the "Bibliothèque de la Pléiade". (More than 250 authors has been published in this collection)

It is a reference edition in France of the complete works of classic authors.

I totally agree with you. My point here was just to prove that you cannot sell the beauty of JavaScript syntax by saying that you have to use TypeScript :)

Did you ever notice that real world-class software developers don't even have to say that they are ? :)

In the end, you have to transpile your code to JavaScript. Whether you are writing TypeScript or Swift code. But I agree, Typescript has more similarities with JS than Swift does.

I hope it's just ironic, so I give him the benefit of the doubt :)

This is a lot of lines for not saying much. I was expecting much more from a "world-class software developer"(see About section) :)

Saying that the community is more advanced in the JavaScript ecosystem than it is in the iOS world is a nonsense to me. Don't we have more JS developers than iOS developers ?

Moreover, saying that JS syntax is really good with tools like TypeScript is another nonsense. You can also write Swift code and use another transpiler to get JavaScript code from it and you would say that JS is great.

Last but not least, giving a state of the art of JS without event talking about tools like npm, babel or webpack is like scratching only the surface of the subject. I mean come on, JS is not only about == and === in 2018
