[asdf-asdf-asdf]

it is really frustrating to read infinite variations of the comment "javascript development is too complicated", "it is much simpler in other languages" etc.

yes, it is complicated. the problem is, there are certain constraints that we just cannot ignore: we want to write code in a "normal", efficient way (code organized in namespaced modules, perphaps static typing etc.), but we need it to be executed by the web-browser, maybe an old version of a web-browser. so we need solutions that work with these constraints.

if you know about simpler solutions, i'm very interested hearing about them. but please note, it has to work with those constraints, so ideas like "just write a native application" does not help.
