From the outside, it seems like Javascript developers are all in high school, participating in a popularity contest, feel the need to sprinkle emoji everywhere and communicate solely with memes and gifs.

>> participating in a popularity contest

This almost entirely explains the entirety of the javascript ecosystem and the seemingly ever increasing number of, and frequently changing popularity of, the various frontends frameworks. It seems a hype driven ecosystem, so it's not surprising it's also full of people posting memes and such.

I wonder what the reason is for this kind of behavior to exist only in the Javascript community? Could it be that a vast majority of Javascript developers are really in high school? Are there any good stats sources for it?
