As a non-JS person who wrote a moderate amount of JS a long time ago and a little JS in the last few days, it feels like it’s been kintsugi-ed. It can never be so completely fixed that you won’t see how it was broken, but it can certainly become an open meditation on the nature of repair.
@brennen My only advice (and I could be wrong; I’m really not a JS person) is to lean heavily on MDN.
@vruba JavaScript is a real winner of the Worse is Better evolution arc.

@vruba this is an optimistic enough take to (nearly) tempt me to revisit javascript one of these days.
