Wouldn't you say the "insane number of ways to do the same job" is a "problem" of all languages? Is there a language you think simplifies this approach?

Also, what do you mean by JavaScript tends to be messy? Could you elaborate a bit more?

Thanks!

I think it is a matter of how insane it is. One example language that is more unified would be Ruby, which favors convention over configuration. I feel like people in the Ruby community can get behind small number of frameworks because of this philosophy a lot easier comparing to the JS community.

Just my 2 cents.
