RipVanWinkle.js — Returning to JavaScript After 5 Years: "I got JavaScript fatigue before it was fashionable, way back in 2011. I basically ignored the entire ecosystem — including Node — in the interim, while happily programming away in Python 3 and its excellent stats libraries.
This past year, a number of great summaries of the JavaScript ecosystem were published, including the quite critical How it feels to learn JavaScript in 2016. In reading these articles, I realized that everything I knew about JavaScript and its platform was just completely out-of-date. ES2015? Arrow functions? Transpilers? Babel? React?
It was like people were talking in a foreign language — and they were, for the JavaScript I had grown up with was dead, and had been replaced with something far better (although still with quirks)."
