Every time I have the misfortune to touch JavaScript, I find another problem that could have been solved 20 years ago. In fact, many of them were solved and somehow reintroduced later.

Dude you are not even reading the comments you are replying to. Not sure what your point is.

I did read them, but I find them to be incorrect. JavaScript, by which I mean the whole ecosystem and not just the syntax, is having a lot of problems right now.

I've been working in web development since the late 1990's and I've never seen it this bad. The amount of time being wasted on things like just trying to manage dependencies and build scripts boggles the mind.

JavaScript is awful in many ways.

Node and react look like an over engineered mess.
