    As someone trying to learn Javascript, it just makes me mad that at this garbage heap of a language is so widely used.

      The problem is that you can’t break compatibility.

      Only in some exceptional cases. 🙃

          Personally, I’d love to break compatibility for better features and consistency. We should be able to declare the version at the top of the file or something. Nothing at the top = legacy crap. 🤷‍♂️ I dunno.
