> JS will be "mature" and infinitely more productive once basics like modules are implemented in all servers and clients. It will get better eventually.
JS is in a really weird and unique place as the only programming language available for browsers (assuming you want it to work on all browsers). Think about that, when's the last time you've been constrained to a single language outside of the web? Since everyone has to use it, changes in the language itself have to be extremely slow, otherwise it breaks existing stuff.
Any discussion of JS is inherently phenomenological because there's nothing to compare it to. I personally would love it if we simply started from scratch and slowly phased JS out. I'm sure attempts have been made :/
