@celesteh@hachyderm.io @jnkrtech@treehouse.systems I think it's partly because JavaScript is more commonly used for building consumer products compared to other languages, so there's a higher proportion of developers focused on shipping products rather than diving deep into infrastructure. When you're building a product, you naturally extract just enough to solve your immediate problem and move on. Languages like Rust tend to attract more developers interested in tooling and infrastructure work, where yak shaving is almost expected. The ecosystem reflects the priorities of its community.
