One shock if you go back and forth between Javascript and, say, Java, is adjusting your library evaluation criteria. It's not weird for a Java project to include a library that hasn't had any updates in 4+ years. Sometimes those sorts of libraries are even considered the standard for whatever thing they do. Meanwhile in JS you have to assume a library with no releases in the last 6 months has already bitrotted to death.
