Modern Javascript: Everything you missed over the last 10 years (2020)
JavaScript is a great browser scripting language because it&#x27;s the only browser scripting language.  That&#x27;s a whole realm of good times, and people can and should go nuts with it there.<p>The problem started a decade or so ago with Node.  Too many people only learn JavaScript, become psychologically dependent on it, and they all collectively took it too far outside of a browser.<p>ECMAScript is a general purpose standard, but it was invented retroactively.  Node is not ECMAScript in a server-side ECMAScript engine, it&#x27;s JavaScript in a browser JavaScript engine.  That&#x27;s just too much of a force fit, and has wasted too much potential for me to say anything positive about it.
