I'm pretty sure you could use an AbortController to address this? But it's one of those things you have to know about. I completely understand the author's frustration with CORS, but I don't think JS is to blame here. I have felt a similar level of frustration whenever I try to use a language other than JS to work with JSON. Does that mean the language sucks? I would say no. I don't think this made a compelling case for avoiding JS, but I would never want to deny someone the catharsis from venting about technology.
