- shakna 10y agoGoing by many of the comments at [0], I would say the community is divided and not everyone thinks so. Myself? I truly wish Netscape had gone with Scheme instead of the weekend hack that became JavaScript, as they'd talked about.

- pluma 10y agoStepping back for a second and looking at other programming languages. Not really, unless you only consider languages that have become stagnant (so there are only a few options left and no new ones pop up) or that haven't gained any traction (so there are only a few options around in the first place). Considering the size and openness of the JS ecosystem (i.e. its strong tendency towards open source at every level) this is perfectly sane and expected. If you want to pretend there are fewer moving parts, just use a TypeScript/Angular2 boilerplate and hope the single framework solves all your problems.
