From the article:

  As front-end developers, staying ahead of JavaScript’s evolution isn’t optional — it’s survival.

  When the ES2025 proposals dropped, many developers (myself included) were shocked.
Isn't this hyperbole par excellence? There are some new language features, that is all. The whole article looks like written by this LLM prompt: "write about the new features of es2025 and hype it up as much as possible"

To be honest this whole article feels like it was AI generated. And em-dashes being used everywhere doesn’t help to shake off this feeling.

<arrow in target emoji> You nailed it!

People have got to start prompting their LLMs to stop with the goddamn emoji.

It's every section header starting with an emoji that's blatant LLM slop indicator. I'd love to know why LLMs love emojis so much.

I get what you mean, but the point of the article was to show how JavaScript is evolving to feel more like a functional language — not like Java or C#. That shift is actually what makes it cleaner and more expressive, not robotic.
