What is the build tool used in the javascript world this week? Broccoli? Grunt? Gulp? Talp? Just dealing with breaking changes in any one of those is a full time job!

Why is it that each time a JS dev discovers something most other fields have been using for decades, it has to be "The Lost Art", "Superpower" ( https://medium.com/@wesharehoodies/typescript-javascript-wit... ) or something similarly tacky? There's no Lost Art, no superpowers. It's just the JS scene _finally_ slowly getting up to speed.
Why is it that some commenters can't understand that all of humanity isn't at the exact same level of knowledge on everything? People learn things every day, acting like it's "slow" or you are better than them is a very toxic elitist point of view that is better off not said. You think your way of doing things is better, then you should encourage others to do it that way, don't put them down when they just start usin…
You must've misunderstood me. I don't have any problem at all with people discovering things late. I am often a slow learner myself. What irritates me is when people make spectacular "discoveries" with tacky headlines. If the article were written in a bit more casual and technical tone, I'd be happy, much more so than with this "let me re-introduce you this amazing but forgotten lore you don't know about" nonsense...

There's way more to software engineering than GitHub. Example: every company that hosts their own code repositories. The TIOBE index, while not entirely accurate either, does reflect usage by a much more broad set of engineers.
