I reflected recently that, for years, I've carried a previously unverbalised and deep-seated expectation that JavaScript Will (Eventually) Be Replaced.
The language contains so many lurking horrors, accreted over the years, that it might even seem irrational to assume otherwise.
I suspect this sense of ephemerality then pervades the entire extended ecosystem, including all JS derivatives, reducing everyone's time horizon to maybe the next eighteen months at best. Thus the roulette wheel of broken tools keeps spinning.
