I feel your pain, but these mostly fall into the same category of frustrations you'd get when doing something like switching operating systems, e.g. going from Windows to Mac or vice versa. You run into all kinds of things that seem stupid and you're bombarded with things that should "just work" and seem not to. But, they disappear and are mostly non-issues once you use the alternate system/language regularly for a while. Some I think you will come to see as benefits, sensible, or find that there are trivial workarounds. One quick improvement. The more commonly used contemporary syntax in JS for something like your list.forEach example is: `list.forEach((item, i) => ...)` —writing out the full `function` keyword is indeed an eyesore :)
