With async/await now landing in mainstream engines, Koa instead of Express, the new Turbofan+Ignition optimization pipeline "evening out" V8's performance chara

With async/await now landing in mainstream engines, Koa instead of Express, the new Turbofan+Ignition optimization pipeline "evening out" V8's performance characteristics, and ES6 enjoying reasonably broad support, I feel like JS is now crossing a threshold into being not a completely sucky programming experience, which is a sentiment this article echoes. I'm probably being overly optimistic, but I look forward to a future where a "naked JS" movement rises up, similar to "vanilla JS", but rebelling against tooling complexity instead of jQuery bloat, in which your website's /js/ folder contains pretty much exactly what's in git.
