But Javascript is mostly open source! Why not publish your library [1], make a PR with improvements to the existing ones or donate to the authors so they can dedicate more time on those?

Two reasons:

- I only use javascript if I really have to

- Most javascript libraries are so horrible that I'd rather write something from scratch than touching existing code

I donate to the Java/Kotlin ecosystem though.
