Previously I was working on C# and SQL. I'm no fan of either of those, but at least with C# I can understand what the designers were thinking. Ideally I would be working in Clojure if it was up to me. Or Scala or F#.

Now it's Javascript as that is the code base our client uses. The client runs a number of production factories and have an internal web app that is mostly Javascript on the front end for monitoring these production lines.

It's made me angrily punch my desk and consider just quitting on the spot on a number of occasions.

I don't know how anyone tolerates using this day to day and doesn't want to jump off the roof. It's absolutely idiotic.
