&quot;Standardized&quot; does not equate &quot;good&quot; though. ECMAScript is a very confused language that keeps borrowing from other languages and turns itself into a mess. Not to mention that &quot;Universal JavaScript&quot; is an oxymoron as most real-world JavaScript (well, ECMAScript) is not supported by major browsers and developers need to use things like Babel and the likes. And I don&#x27;t see an end to it.
