I think JS is a degenerate case. The reason I stay as far away from JS/TS as possible is that everything seems sloppy and therefore people try to "fix" things by replacing them every N months.

Indeed, when you see so many commenters advocating not bothering to learn a language deeply, you kind of get a taste for how prevalent the sloppiness mindset is. JS seems to attract a very high proportion of unskilled programmers.

I would struggle to name a single project I have been involved in where the JS/TS based front-end hasn't been reimplemented multiple times, from what I can tell, because people get lost.
