Well, Javascript can't just be compared to languages like Python because Javascript runs in the browser, so you'd have to look at the state of other client development platforms. So, consider Apple's development environment. It's changing all the time. For example, SwiftUI still isn't mature enough to replace UIKit, yet that isn't stopping Apple from focusing on it in all of its docs going forward. And when you're using Stack Overflow to answer questions like how to send a keyboard press programmatically, you will see anything from Objective-C code to older APIs in older Swift versions. And that's a constant source of confusion for beginners. Client development just isn't that easy nor are we at a point where there is One True Solution that is settled. It's a domain of constant research and improvement.
