kpthunder··on Show HN: Grumbles.js – Detects when your users swear out loud
A code review app can measure WTFs / minute, as in the classic web comic: http://imgur.com/a/BHlkA

Yeah, like I said in response to another comment:

You actually have to allow it per-website per-visit (not even per-session).

kpthunder··on Why You Should Learn JavaScript in 2016
> only web applications.

I talked about native mobile applications as well.

> Also, your glorious React didn't exist three years ago. Why should I expect it to be still developed three years from now? It doesn't sound like a very transferrable skill.

Facebook is dogfooding React in a way not seen in other libraries in use on the web. Sure, Google uses Angular here and there, but nowhere near to the extent that Facebook uses React -- both on the web and native mobile.

> Why not learn functional programming language for functional programming?

That's not really the point I was trying to make. JavaScript is already widely adopted on millions of devices. I can deploy functional JavaScript anywhere.

> And one has to go way, way out of his way to use this paradigm for real in JavaScript.

I mentioned libraries that encourage this paradigm. Including lodash-fp which makes a point of making everything in lodash auto-curried, iteratee-first, and data-last.
