I just got a new job and my first task is fixing up a vibe coded react native app. Holy hell I have never hated programming more than I do now. The absolute mess that is type/JavaScript and the very notion of running your app as an embedded website is quite possibly the worst thing I can imagine. The whole language and ecosystem appears to deliberately make debugging as hard as possible. Things that should be compile-time errors are instead runtime errors that may or may not produce a log in one of three or four locations.

I really want to go back to C. I hate this so much.

Maybe JavaScript works for you, that's great. But my brain runs on C and java just makes me want to find a cave and subsist on berries and twigs for the rest of my life.
