The problem is that you don't "learn Javascript". The problem is that you need a whole ecosystem to do anything useful and that ecosystem is highly fractured and never seems to converge.
One of the bullet points was "They reduced their total JS dependencies by 96% (255 to 9)". That's an enormous support burden that simply vaporized.

The problem is that you need a whole ecosystem to do anything useful and that ecosystem is highly fractured and never seems to converge.' My virtualenv has close to a hundred deps. Tried packaging anything in Python lately? How about type checking? It's the same everywhere, the grass just looks patchier when it's not a park you're used to going to. There are over seven billion people on this planet, convergence of opinion is the exception.
- bsder 4y agoIf you are deploying to Django, you've likely converged to a specific set of Python dependencies that have been pretty static for close to a decade. I'd be surprised if my Django virtualenv has ever had more than 20 dependencies.
- miiiiiike 4y agoThe whole of the Django community has not converged on the same deps. Same with JavaScript. With Python/Django there's uWSGI vs. Gunicorn vs. etc, etc, etc. Then there's ASGI with Uvicorn vs. Daphne vs. Hypercorn. That's just running your code. Nothing is one-size fits all.
