JavaScript has many challenges, but I think the biggest by far is the lack of "batteries included" standard libraries.
Without those, ecosystem fills the vacuum with a large, evolving mix of overlapping libraries that don't interoperate.
How often have you considered library X, but then found it doesn't work with your project's other libraries and frameworks?
- megous 10y agoI don't think so. PHP has batteries included, yet there's bazillion of frameworks too. People just like to create their own stuff, doing ever smaller improvements, or disimprovements if they overengineer because of being dogmatic about OOP, patterns, etc. Libraries you can't avoid. There will be always something missing that someone needs.
