I'm not entirely sure what you think I was saying. You refer to me assuming and being uncharitable in those assumptions, but I was responding to a specific list of items pointed out, and my own experience. I think you're actually assuming quite a bit about my comment.

> You don't think JS is obviously unique for its ubiquitous Promise, async/await, + async-everything abstraction. You tend to only get that in other languages (Rust, Python, Ruby) by limiting yourself to a fraction of the ecosystem.

A fraction like nodejs or whatever subset of NPM you decide to use?

Core JS is what you get in a browser. That includes async/await, but it's hardly ubiquitous in usage in the core.

The main distinction JS has over Perl, Python, Ruby etc is that it's in the browser, so you can assume almost everyone has it and it's accessible in some manner if they access a web property you are responsible for.

I believe people here don't belong to the situation I mentioned.

You are here because you are interested and want to learn. You probably know more than 1 language.

But that is not the general developer. Most developers are lazy and at the end of the day, want to go back to their wife and kids ( for example).
