Every 2-3 years this gets suggested again. Somebody builds something to "compile" their pet language x to JS. At the same time 3 new JS libraries or frameworks come out to abstract an abstraction. I've been writing JS since '94 and I'm sorry but at this point all I can muster is an eye roll.

It has also grown unbelievably well. ES6 alone has added in so many quality of life features that I find myself using fewer and fewer libraries every time I go to do a project and check compatibility.

I just need full module support and I'll be laughing.

Maybe I'm just crotchety now and/or beyond front-end fatigue but I keep thinking, "you don't need all that!"
