I think Javascript has been rapidly getting better, as a language. Every time you hear a front end dev complain about having to support IE, consider that an endorsement of the way HTML/CSS/Javascript has been improving. No one is complaining about having to use the latest version of Javascript to support the new Chrome.

Dunno about that. According to Kyle Simpson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pL28CcEijU) ES6 has introduced plenty of WTFs to add to the archives. Back-to-front, inconsistent destructuring and Symbols which hide from object enumeration. And after all these new versions Javascript still lacks really basic functions such as range().
