Here’s my general problem with people who profess statements like these: JS, putting aside typing, project structure, etc, simply has a small standard library.

Here’s my general problem with people who profess statements like these: JS, putting aside typing, project structure, etc, simply has a small standard library. At some point, you’re rewriting utility functions that you absolutely should have, instead, be pulling in from tried and tested code base. An engineer whom merely rolls all of their own solutions doesn’t seem like the kind of engineer that builds maintainable technology. I’d rather tree shake a lodash function than roll my own. Not because I don’t know how, but merely because that code is better than mine. Period.
