Ha, tried noodling around a Node project that was only written in the last 12 months and trying to build it resulted in a ton of deprecation warnings, security flags (some serious) and "you should no longer be using f00b4r, migrate to l33tf4rt instead". Plus despite being a supposedly simple main.js with like 3 imports it pulls in a zillion dependencies (in which these problems exist). Who can possibly work in this dumpster fire of a dev environment? I'm noping right out
@sinbad ahaha welcome to every day of my life as a web app developer 
The tradeoff (presumably) is super fast iteration/instant feedback loop, and to be using the most common (and thus most documented / blogged about / forum-discussed) language.
Dependency hell is real, though. Important part of js dev is strategically picking your deps and knowing when to write something from scratch.
I definitely feel the deprecation warning after just 12 months thing lol. I swear sometimes I come back to a project after a weekend away and suddenly it's ancient.
@mvu it's insane, you have my condolences ;)
