gollark: Are you making some sort of lisp?
gollark: Possibly Bad Stuff:* Many things are not typescripted, so you have horrible dynamic looseness floating around* Micromodules are just ridiculous* Most things are not really standardised properly (require vs ES6 import, which of the 5 million ES*s to use, bundling (webpack/parcel/rollup/crazier madness), etc)
gollark: Possibly Good Stuff:* TypeScript - your code can actually be typechecked reasonably well* React - very nice declarative rendering of stuff* async/await - whilst not as good as monadic whatevers, it does make asynchronous stuff much nicer* Ramda - very nice functional utilities
gollark: I do quite like *some* of JS, just not... most?
gollark: We need this in a library; people can't implement this on their own without being professional developers.
