The problem with Javascript is that precisely that freedom has coursed its grow from the beginning by mean of people that try to own it. I remember the battle of Netscape and Microsoft.

The industry is somewhat complicated, the freedom and competence provides more dynamic but the standardization is needed at some point in order to build at the next level without waste of resources.

Think what would happen if all the telecommunication companies transmit with different types of sockets, cables, protocols, etc.

It might be that JS is profiting from his own hype. Many companies, developers, etc.. are profiting using their creativity to built the frameworks they want to be imposed. Think of it as the Dot-com Bubble of scripting languages.

Someday it will stop, ES or another standard will be taken and the rest of invested resources in that redundant competency would be discarded.

In one of the last attacks to OOP calling it a trillion dollar disaster one could note an attempt to devalue the professionals, theory and technology-stacks that built most of the industrial-strength software that we use everyday.

But I bet that some day we will find that the trillion dollar disaster is JS. Let us hope that it ends at least with a good tech result.
