Today's JS ecosystem reminds me of how people used to talk about Lisp: "Extend the language however you want, just write a macro!" And in practice that means there's a million little language variants floating around there; you can have different import semantics and language features and type systems and it's all glued together with a big pile of configuration and tooling.
Obviously this flexibility has been good for progress of the JS ecosystem as whole, but I hope the next 10 years are more sedate than the last 10.
