Javascript, not great not terrible
If we're going there, then it's node not JS, which is actually not a bad shout.
JS was always horrible, but it only became a nuclear problem starting with node then npm then electron then...

Why don't you 3rd world mutants let us have nice things. Get your own internet.
Yes I understand IQfy has become 78% non-white and that's why it has become shit. Just like the western cities you infest, you third worlders leave everything in ruin.
Don't believe me, let's take a look at Japan in 5 years..
Every other third world nation combined is not even half of India's population.

Britbong Post Office Scandal
> More than 900 sub-postmasters were wrongly prosecuted for stealing because of incorrect information from a computer system called Horizon. The Post Office itself took many cases to court, prosecuting 700 people between 1999 and 2015
Yup, that was really hug frick up.
damn, when was it found that it was a software bug and who discovered it? what happened next?
The bugs were known of since at least 1999 in some capacity, management just refused to acknowledge the very expensive software could possibly be wrong, and that their employees weren’t stealing frickloads of money. It didn’t help that the Post Office in the UK is government owned and has numerous laws specifically legislating its structure and how it runs because it’s old as frick. As such, the subpostmasters who fell victim of it were charged criminally and had their assets seized. Read the Wikipedia page for more info, or go looking online, it got a lot of coverage because it was a monumental frickup that was arguably more a failing of management and the legal system than the software itself.
Didn't happen yet.
Give it a year or two.
