> In my opinion the super hype over Javascript is because of it's simplicity(compared to GO for example). Go imho is a lot simpler than Javascript. Not necessarily as a language (although Go is pretty simple, and JS has some very ugly pitfalls). Thing is, getting into the JS ecosystem is an absolute mess. With Go, I felt comfortable with it within a few days. Recently, wanting to create some sort of frontend for a REST API I'm making - I tried getting into "modern" frontend JS, having dabbled in HTML, JS and CSS a decade ago, having created a small internal bootstrap-based app targeted at mobile devices - so I understand the basics However, the current JS ecosystem? I have no idea where to even start, I haven't even gotten to the point where I would actually have some hacky code that would at least give me an idea how to move forward...
