That was nodejs, and it turns out people unwilling and or unable to improve things through systematic skill refinement just degrades into chaos.

Successful ecosystems are just pedantically lame enough to keep silly folks from going YOLO, but empowering enough to allow people to still have fun.

Nodejs wasn't easier for people. JS is a horrible language where simple stuff like comparisons, array access, and member access are broken.
