javascript bugs me more than it should. I guess it is because I have to write in javascript from time to time. Today I am particularly annoyed with how to make hashes. In perl %hash In python {} In lua {} In Ruby {} BUT in javascript it is new Map() which they only introduced in 2015. Before that, people used objects which are instantiated with {} , but the objects have a bunch of other junk attached to them which makes it harder to reliably use in all circumstances. So, if you just want a hash, plain old data and nothing else it is new Map() and it pains me every time I have to type that out.
