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Like I want a best practice guide for modern JS and basically everyone tells you "Yeah I use Flerp but that's outdated, you should use Shlorp" and the Shlorp docs tell you you need "Peteng" and "Gropsh" set up before starting.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 @emilygorcenski It’s a steaming turd with at least three ways to import code from elsewhere.

I find that the most acceptable and consistent way to get something done in javascript is to write it in Typescript. The tooling is kinda mature enough that the translation step is bearable.
