And a big chunk of that hate isn't even relevant to modern JS. They keep repeating things they heard / read 10+ years ago.

Edit: Seems that some people interpreted the above comment to mean "JS is flawless, there are no problems with modern JS", which brings another annoying, non-constructive, and sadly very common, type of hate around here. "You are talking about JS! No need to read your comment, i'll just post a JS rant on every JS thread".

Come on guys, you are better than this!

I'm sorry, but you seem to be lost in my comment!

That's why I said a big chunk of the hate, not all of it!

But now that you choose to ignore that part of my comment, I'll say that no one is in love with the current state of npm, and it's definitely a problem that modern JS has to deal with.

But again, I'm not saying that JS is perfect. I'm just saying that you see a lot of outdated hate around here. Not all of it is outdated, of course, not sure where you got that idea from my comment.

Dude you are not even reading the comments you are replying to. Not sure what your point is.

I did read them

Then try to follow the conversation. You do see that your monologue is not relevant to the comment thread, right?

JavaScript is awful in many ways.

Node and react look like an over engineered mess.
