I think mostly because of two things:
1) Imho an overly complex ecosystem (with thousands of dependencies via npm or such)
2) The "oh my god, that is 5 weeks old, there is something new, better..." mindset for JS-projects.
For long-term software slow velocity is a feature that has to be balanced carefully against stagnation... and not the "reckless" advancement that JS (and kubernetes for that matter) enjoys...
Most C-compiler-suites and most SQL-database move slowly, but move...
- troubledandlost 6y agoGood point, but when I purposefully limit the amount of dependencies and use dependencies that have no dependencies (like Vue.js), can I make my web app long-lasting that way (like I can with C89 and SDL)? IOW: is there an issue with (vanilla) JS despite it being a standardized language?
- svennek 6y agoLikely, but you probably also depend on a browser... OTOH html5 seems quite backwards compatible and stable
