I can't get my head out from the Javascript ecosystem ... and previously I've done PHP ...
Those two made me think to quit programming, but lately I've found new ways like ClojureScript and ReScript.
After 15 years I came to a conclusion: choose a smaller and better language vs a popular one with a huge ecosystem.
Yeah, yeah another build step, but I consider almost anything as preferable to use Javascript or Typescript.
These days all my would-be Javascript projects are done with CLJS, Elm, or maybe PureScript if I want to do something fancy with types (or don't want to deal with particular Elm quirks).
I wonder why CLJS / Reagent is not enough, and where the others step in...
I mean in my fantasy CLJS / Lisp is so powerful one never looks back to languages relying on commas and colons
