"Yo, why are #JavaScript and its ecosystem so messy?!" ๐Ÿ˜ก

Well, I am glad you asked... Let me tell you a story! ๐Ÿค“

For starting... #JavaScript was not designed to be the language that it is today!

JS was created in 1995 by @BrendanEich for Netscape, a web browser that was trying to come up with a language to make the web more interactive
@BrendanEich #JS wasn't related w/ #Java, so why did they call it Java-Script?! Duh! ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Java was trendy! it was possible to build interactive sites by embedding Java apps in pages (applets). So it was mostly a #mktg move: "JS: the lightweight Java alternative" or something like that I guess

Just realised that #Laravel is like the #jQuery of PHP. I get it now.

The focus is on productivity and ease of use, rather than mandating SOLID and unit testable principles the entire way.

If you want that stuff then you'll use TypeScript/SPA, instead of jQuery.

Yes you can do that stuff in jQuery/Laravel, it's just not the primary focus of the docs/community and that's fine.

I personally did the SOLID/DDD approach with Laravel in 2016, for an enterprise client and it was really challenging to change the culture then, but it has matured
So sorry @taylorotwell for the resistance so far, I do get it now

I'm more set on the expectations of people using Laravel for software without expecting SOLID everywhere, and when I hire people I get that it's not their style or approach and that's okay in the right environment
