I have been telling people for ages - Javascript is a pack of cards. We have progressed as a society and have so many alternatives for everything, and yet, we still haven't done anything about Javascript being forced down onto us by browsers. If it wasn't for web browsers, JS would have become irrelevant so fast because of how broken it is - both as a language and its ecosystem.
On the contrary - almost being a decade into Elixir - most of the time, I don't need (and I don't like) using external dependencies. I can just write something myself in a matter of just an hour or so because it's just so easy to do it myself. And everything I've written till date hasn't required an audit or re-write every 6 months or sometimes, even for years.
We all seem to hate the concept of Nazis and yet somehow we have done nothing about the Nazi-est language of them all which literally has no other alternatives to run on web browsers?
