JS has one of the most painful and ludicrous developer experiences in the industry (right next to Python, and C++). Sane dependency management is NuGet, not NPM. Sane build tooling is dotnet build, not npm run build (is this multithreaded/parallel yet?). Sane CI is achieved via dotnet package; then chucked into whatever CI workflow. It just works. You don’t need to mess with it. It adds negligible overhead. The DOM is inefficient — entire page loads are quicker than rendering changes in-page (accounting for latency, and using chromium’s Blink renderer). The box model is inane. JS is a horrible, cobbled together language (like Python) initially designed by a naive. I would sooner write my own 2D renderer in WebGL than deal with HTML/CSS/JS/Rendering pipelines. In my many years of being a web$hit, I have always had to fight the frontend ecosystem to stop being daft.
