A small observation after working in frontend for a while (and not the only reason JS appears to change a lot): JS development is often tightly linked to graphic/UI/UX design and marketing in a way that's not so common in Python/Ruby/Go/Rust/Clojure/other language communities. JS developers tend to be quite good at building brands, making logos, and polishing marketing sites around their thing — because it's their job! They're usually also good at promoting things in their networks of sometimes high-profile designer/developer/DevRel types and the huge ecosystem of YouTube channels and podcasts linked to frontend. This gives JS open source projects an elevated level of buzz relative to those from other programming language communities. Added to the sheer number of people working with JS, as a whole there are more loud things competing for attention in colourful ways, which gives the scene a feeling of constant newness and flux, for better and for worse.
