AT SOME POINT, JAVASCRIPT GOT GOOD

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

JavaScript has changed a lot since 2015, especially thanks to improvements in the ECMAScript specification. Early JavaScript was difficult to work with due to issues like function-scoped variables and callback hell. Modern JavaScript has introduced features like block-scoped variables, arrow functions, promises, and async/await, which makes development much better. Tooling has also gotten better.
