Awesome post full of great info!
Challenge accepted on keeping up with all the things with a 'js' suffix.

personally I also begin to feel the fatigue of Javascript.
My biggest difficulty is finding someone to talk to/exchange with, it's something I'd love to do, I have lots of ideas in my head, lots of side projects.
When it comes to learning a new thing, I ask myself the following questions:
1 - What is it?
2 - Why?
3 - how does it work?
4 - When to use it

because even if you like a tool, you should know which situations are suitable for its use.

Thanks for your post. It's very interesting.

This is so awesome to many degrees. I have started with React.js now after going through Node.js/Express.js and many other libraries in there. And now I have started hearing about Web Assembly so it got me a little afraid that Javascript might die, but yeah this is an awesome way to keep with it. Is it true though, that Web Assembly would kill all others, Lol! :D

Super thorough. I can imagine this being remarkably helpful for a lot of JS devs at a crossroads.

Great detailed read. Finding the right balance between consuming resources and actually experimenting (as you mentioned in the post) is the thing I struggle with the most.

For myself (non-javascript developer) I just know the basic syntax and google the rest. I only use it when doing random front-end stuff on our company site, or with our digital signs.
