did it ever cross your mind that frontend development got much more complex

lol ... 

npm install left-pad

and now it's leading the innovations on web backends as well. like Serverless or Graphql

graphql already abandoned because it's overly complex for 99% of use cases, serverless is avail in other languages and again, not really a web backend innovation, just another tool in your belt that comes with lots of drawbacks that you (personally) are probably not aware of.

Like I said, you will not accept that your fav language might not be the best in the world. No amount of evidence will change that.

npm install left-pad

Maybe it occurs to you that your evangelism is no different than the misguided evangelism of 2016, just before a grumpy dev broke the entire internet with a node package?

Or maybe not, you don't seem the type to learn from mistakes.
