In a lot of areas the tools are fairly stable and progress is more linear. That’s what I liked about C/C++ development where you could go deep and really learn details. The JavaScript world feels to me a little like reinventing the wheel every few years and recreating the same thing over and over. Maybe it needs a few more years/decades to shake out issues and reach some stability. I think part of the problem is that JavaScript/HTML/CSS are so flexible that it’s really easy to create new stuff.
