It's not just the major browser makers. I was working on a JavaScript inference engine around when ES6 started to roll out, I had decent ES5 support but when all the syntatic updates came I had to give up. They basically killed the JavaScript ecosystem with all the updates. We only have complile to JS languages now. Those that still writes in vanilla JS are like those who still build apps in assembly langauge.

I strongly disagree, it's never been easier and more pleasant to write modern JS without transpilers. I've only rarely had to reach for a framework or transpiler in the last few years.
- andrewmcwatters 2y agoCome now, this is silly. There are plenty of us that are explicitly avoiding build phases because, for us, what needs to be built adds very little benefit. Working with assembly is comparatively expert work that few professionals are good at. JavaScript can be written by kids.
- stevage 2y agoThe main reason people don't write much vanilla JS is because they're writing TypeScript instead.
