HTML Is Your Calm Friend, JavaScript Is Your Crazy Cousin

HTML just wants to chill on the seesaw with you, living its best static life. Then JavaScript shows up like that one friend who "just wants to help" and suddenly you're airborne, questioning all your life choices. HTML keeps things balanced and predictable—it's literally just markup, doing exactly what you tell it to do. But the moment JavaScript enters the chat, chaos ensues. Asynchronous callbacks, event bubbling, hoisting, closures... next thing you know, you're flying off into the void while JavaScript cheerfully waves goodbye. The progression from peaceful coexistence to absolute mayhem is basically every web developer's journey from "I'll just add a little interactivity" to "WHY IS UNDEFINED NOT A FUNCTION?!"

Recently I Hate AI So Much

Remember the good old days when we complained about a new JavaScript framework dropping every 5 minutes? When the biggest crisis was choosing between React, Vue, or Angular? Those were SIMPLER TIMES, my friend. Now every single day it's "GPT-5 just launched," "Claude can now write entire codebases," "New AI model makes developers obsolete." Like, can we PLEASE go back to the era where our existential dread came from npm dependency hell and not from wondering if we'll be replaced by a chatbot? At least JavaScript frameworks had the decency to just confuse us—they didn't threaten our entire career path before breakfast.

Fuck Haskell Long Live Java Script

So someone decided to implement functional programming in JavaScript by... literally just calling functions recursively and pretending they're doing Haskell. The isEven function checks if a number equals zero (true) or one (false), then recursively calls isOdd with n-1. The isOdd function just... calls isEven back. This is the programming equivalent of asking your roommate if they're hungry, and they respond by asking if YOU'RE hungry, and this continues until someone starves or the call stack explodes. Instead of using the modulo operator like a normal human being ( n % 2 === 0 ), this genius decided to torture the JavaScript engine with mutual recursion. The irony? Haskell would actually handle this elegantly with tail call optimization. JavaScript? It'll blow up your stack faster than you can say "Maximum call stack size exceeded." So yeah, "long live JavaScript" indeed—until you try to check if 10000 is even.
