If you dig into the chrome developer tools you will find a lot of tools that make web app development easier. The ability to find memory leaks in the profiling tool has made large javascript applications much less stressful.
Some of the things you mention are no longer best practice, for example, using strings for templates or JSON.
That's actually a good way to describe javascript, C++ without types. It makes the language more approachable. You have to remember, it was always meant to be a scripting language. There will be things that limit the size of applications built with it, and it is not optimized for maintainability.

Javascript and C++ are so different in nearly every aspect it's ridiculous to be comparing the two, from performance to the type system to being compiled to the design philosophy... C++ is far more that js with types -.-
- thecolorblue 10y agoMaybe it is not terribly accurate. At work, we jokingly describe javascript as C++ without all the features, because most of the developers at my work have a C++ background. My point, even if it was not clear, was that javascript is a simple scripting language. It doesn't need a type system to be useful.
