Every language has it, but because JavaScript is evolving so rapidly the problem is amplified. We've seen more change in the last couple of years than some more mature languages have seen in the last decade - js isn't finished, and I don't think it ever should be.
On the plus side, it keeps us employed as long as we are prepared to keep learning the new stuff, or earn a spectacular exit.
- tracker1 11y agoEven without JS there's been a lot of changes over the years... in ASP.Net from 1.0 was a big mess, by 3.x it was nice, then came MVC, paradigm shift... that coupled with additions to C# and VS. There's been similar changes to Java, Python and others over the years too. Let alone Ruby which would never have gained ground if it weren't for Rails. I will say for a 20 year old language, JavaScript has grown more in the past 6 years than it's first 14, and a lot of that is thanks to Node/npm.
