it's what gives JS such a bad rap

I think our puny human brains have a hard time understanding how quickly things shift and change in the computer world while keeping the same name.

Like, if you don't like spaghetti in 2012, you probably won't like it in 2020 unless your tastes changed.

Not that JS has clearly changed for the better, but it has definitely changed in many ways — I think we have a really hard time being objective about these things over time.

Well, JS was always a way to transform DB data into an interactive display and it's getting really easy to do so. I remember spending hours creating DOM elements by hand and binding events manually, there is nothing I regret :) [except maybe a few hours too many spent configuring Webpack]
