That’s also why I stay away from the clusterf%%% of front end development and JS if possible except for simple AWS Lambda scripts that have one dependency - AWS SDK.

Any other scripting I do with Python. Any more complicated development it’s using a language with an ecosystem with adults - C# or Go.

Kinda ironic that you say "More generic is better" a few comments above, and then also cite Go in a positive light.

Rob pike espoused "A little copying is better than a little dependency", and go refuses to add suitable abstractions to build generic reusable pieces.

Go has a strong culture of doing exactly the sort of thing I was talking about, and you were arguing against.
