The title misses the point. You can have a perfectly stable JS experience if you let go of the need to stay on top of the latest trends. I've done node.js since it came out and I stopped feeling like the author about 5 years ago. I've continued developed in js regularly but am generally "out of the loop" with regards to web framework trends etc. Apart from deprecations of request and moment and the occasional syntactic sugar, not much has changed in years now. Just the other day I made a greenfield web project for the first time in a long time, took me about one intermittent day to get from 0 to "good enough" with a couple of views. typescript, hapi, and pug. It doesn't have to be complicated. https://codeberg.org/3np/rimgu https://codeberg.org/3np/rimgu (Not saying this is a perfect project and you may argue it falls under the "do x in 10 mins fallacy" but if you think JS projects have to be complicated and unstable - they don't have to) Also, I find it unexpected hearing that comparison with Ruby. I've spent way too much time struggling with Ruby deprecations, buid systems, linters, and broken or undocumented web frameworks (Grape) that I think Python may be the one better comparison. And really, which ecosystem with comparable legacy has a significantly better track-record of webdev stability? Java? .NET? PHP? Go? It's a mess everywhere.
