The last thing I want in a project I am working on is for the main programming language itself to be "an adventure'. Software development is hard enough, I don't need anymore "adventures" from the underlying language or tools.

If you look past the first line, it's all just general software development advice and has pretty much nothing to do with JavaScript. I'm not really sure why it's on HN at all.

I come to HN to avoid these Medium articles shilling their personal twitter account disguised an article that has already been written 25 times.

Your typical Medium article:

6 reasons why you need Async in your Javascript code!

(generic article with no _new_ points being made)

By the way, follow me on Twitter and like my start up on Instagram!

With an interjection after every paragraph repeating what you just read, in larger font, with "TWEET THIS" underneath.

The author wasn't suggesting JavaScript being an "adventure" was a good thing. If you build web applications JavaScript is pretty much a fact of life. This article provides pretty reasonable advise on how to make it manageable.
