Abstractions are vital aspects of computer science. Raw machine code worked! Why are idiots wasting time with this Fortran abstraction nonsense! /s Javascript itself is still just fine - npm et al always struck me as a bad idea I agree, but I have zero issue with using what are basically linkers and compilers on JavaScript in the same way we'd do the same thing with a c linker and compiler, so I am not sure where the hate is coming from. If you are railing against splitting your code up into easily manageable separate files and reusable components then you are just wrong, sorry (no one wants an entire application in a single spaghetti file).
