This is why I prefer older JavaScript to the more recent stuff, with transpiration pipelines and AI-like optimizing compilers that gnaw on giant state trees. That stuff is lovely and terse when it works. And when it doesn’t you are at a total loss. The beauty of imperative code is there’s a beginning and an end, and at every step you can easily see what follows and without too much work what came before.
