damn. I've probably worked with 20 languages over the course of a career in as many years and I can't ever recall that kind of seething hatred for something as inanimate as a programming language. I'd suggest your rage is misguided and misplaced. Perhaps redirect that energy towards moving to a sector of the tech industry that doesn't lean on JS.

But I certainly don't like when you have limited or no choices about something. Also it's not an inanimate thing, there's a community of actual people building and expanding the thing, I blame them for my sufferings :p I'm an entrepreneur of sorts so there are stuff that I can't really avoid because no one else will do them for me. Doing frontend work is part of that list. I also do a bit of "devops" freelancing and it's hard to avoid to have to fiddle with npm there as well. The size of the part of the industry where you can avoid js is shrinking by the day
