Here's an interesting observation from recent HN reactions to JS:
+ The hardcore server folks are hating JS these days, because it requires more than dropping a single script tag.
+ The full-stack people / JS beginners are hating JS with a passion, because they think it's unneeded complexity for
their deadline.
+ Advanced JS veterans totally like how the JS ecosystem is rapidly maturing & solving its problems in interesting ways.
And there's people like you (the latter), constantly explaining the former groups that JS isn't so bad.
I'll see if I can write a blog (or a book if it has to be) on each part of JS ecosystem that has changed with detailed explanations on why it is better.

I already wrote a piece along those lines - https://writer.zoho.com/writer/open/0y4wx08838bdbcf954b1398c... but I guess I (or someone else) can do better.
