Javascript feels very unfriendly to "start with".

Like I want a best practice guide for modern JS and basically everyone tells you "Yeah I use Flerp but that's outdated, you should use Shlorp" and the Shlorp docs tell you you need "Peteng" and "Gropsh" set up before starting.

It's super hard to see best practice that's not "you are a startup with limitless funding, here do microservices in Kubernetes with this Meta Framework.

@tante haha yes. I think my partner feels this right now. She learned vanilla js and is now a trainee. Except they don't use vanilla but node with transpiled code. Except they use all that in reactjs. Except they use all that in nextjs.

Is is quite convoluted unfortunately. I am not sure there is really "that" one way to go. It kind of depends what you want to develop and then you can try one of the more popular options 🙈
