JavaScript is a research language. We produce and throw away ideas quickly because we are exploring and testing.

No one should be using research software in production. If you want use JavaScript in production, use older, vetted libraries and use the smallest subset of API you can.

Basically: use good engineering practice.

You might be able to get away with not vetting your libs in other languages, but it will probably bite you eventually. And other languages might not force you to choose your building surface, but that’s probably just because there’s not much of a choice.
