There's a Rails way, Python famously aims for one obvious way of doing things. That just isn't true of Javascript exactly because there is a history of developers writing several styles of JS, the "right way" to write JS being redefined by diligent people like Douglas Crockford & John Resig and things changing yet again and yet again.
And look at ES6, the JS ecosystem barely resembles what was considered good, idiomatic Javascript just a few years ago. There are a bunch of devs who have managed to stay on top of what's current and I'm sure are laying down examples of good practices & building tools in that style. But you are also talking about an ecosystem that includes people that started writing JS 4-10 years ago, have adopted some of the absolute newest flavor of the month practices but also have seen JS change so much over the years that they aren't throwing themselves into everything that is now considered a best practice because they know their code works and there could be another seismic change in 8 months.
Writing Javascript nearly every line of code is haunted with "is this still the way I should do this?" and no other language has that much hassle.
