Everything you need to know about the faddishness of modern JS

@noleli it's so ridiculous! I only do a project that involves extensive javascript about every 2-3 years, which functionally means I have to start learning the ecosystem from scratch every time

@aparrish@friend.camp @noleli@mastodon.social I think vite is pretty much where it's ending though (general purpose enough that even Svelte uses it).

snowpack was just a necessary iteration in ESM tooling that (rightfully) yielded when a better solution came along.

@noleli I am so confused and undecided concerning how and where to start learning #JavaScript, and often ask myself if it is the right language to start learning, given my super limited time.

Seeing this gets me even more worried.

Tommi, start by ignoring third-party tools and libraries. Use just a text editor and a browser. Call browser APIs directly, experiment with them. It's important to have a decent understanding of the foundation before you start layering any abstractions on top of it.

@grishka Thanks a lot! Specifically concerning browser APIs from which simple and straightforward resources should I be starting?

Tommi, https://javascript.info looks like a good one.

I myself learned JS more than 10 years ago, by many examples involving jQuery as an indispensable part (because IE), so I can't really recommend my own experience :D
