A few days ago, I uploaded a video with the title Don't learn JS?
Basically, my point was that if you don't like JavaScript there are other languages also.
I am getting responses like this. I don't know when these guys will become mature.
I became tired of reporting them.

Tonight is Barat.
On this night, Allah forgives the sinners and writes the destiny of all people for the coming year.
The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) did three things.

The more PRs you send, the more you become good at open source.
You can't learn open source by watching tutorials.
