"Which unit-testing frameworks / tools do you regularly use?" 42% don't seem to write test for javascript.

I think this is okay with javascript.

I think this is especially not okay with JavaScript, due to its numerous quirks and type finagling. Typescript, though, perhaps can get away without unit tests for simple stuff.

I don't think this is OK with any language.
