Exactly. Dependency hell is easy to avoid by avoiding dependencies. Modern JS with modules and classes is really good for simple projects, esp. prototypes that don't have to work everywhere. No framework, no special utilities that all have their quirks. And no packaging either. Much, much simpler this way.

Likewise, concurrency stops being a problem if I avoid threads and async as much as possible.

I'm starting to feel old now that I can no longer pretend I've only got two threads, network and UI, where everything is fine if I wrap the network response with "do on main thread" and crashes reliably and instantly whenever I forgot.
