I remember when I was in BIT, there was a time that needed frequent installation and configuration of IoT devices. I wrote a super shell script to help me setup raspberry pi in hours without human interaction.

But now, if someone wants me to do similar thing again, I would definitely prefer using docker. Easy to customize, easy to use, easy to decommission.

Forget the words above. I just went through a 36-hour hackathon and was driven mad by ES6 promise. I am still not comfortable with JS. Maybe need another several years.

Docker is nicer than shell script actually, and it's well worthy of the reputation. I had heard of it from friends before, but forgot to put it into practice in new machine's installation and settings finally, so terrible...

I am undergoing a bad period of dealing with too many things at the same time, and have done a lot of dumb things these weeks. Thanks for your mention of the good practice, I will adjust myself and get out of the inefficient marsh. :-)

JavaScript is a language with many inherent drawbacks due to its' original design modes (somethings like these, can't remember it exactly), as well as front-end development also went through a period of chaos. It did really sucks.

But I am pretty optimistic about its' future, a brighter and nicer future of ES language and engineers who work in FE-related field. Many new features such as class, arrow functions and template literals are introduced into ES6 (though the class is not actually the class as it's well known to us in other language), and too many issues are being discussed to strengthen ES.NEXT now. JavaScript sucks really a very very long time and hope the terrible ending is arriving. More and more efforts are put into this language from community, hope an automatic workflow and moduling structure will strengthen ES in the future, and win back your trust in ES, even if a little bit, is it possible?

Have a good rest. Don't stay up late?
