This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Could be worse, could be programming Javascript (or Typescript).

A text file with a script block and nothing else, containing a console log, is all you need. You already have all the boilerplate to run it in any computer. No extra dependencies, no installing anything. Literally just a notes editor app. This is a valid HTML file:

<script>
console.log("Hello World")
</script>

By that logic we should all program with .bat files

Bash and bat scripts are really useful for that reason. You're making a bad generalization from my comment. But the premise from OP seems to be that a language's value is how hard it is to get started.
