Maybe JS devs will learn to stop reinventing the wheel every half a year thanks to the knowledge cutoffs.

React was released 11 years ago and is the de facto default choice for most of the web applications.

They have definitely chilled out on "reinventing the wheel" quite a few years ago.

No? React reinvents itself constantly. I've worked on React websites and am currently working on a React Native app. React was first classes-based, now there's functions, hooks and it will soon get a compiler. Not to mention that they nudge you to use Next.js (and Expo for RN) now. Svelte did the same with the switch to these god awful Runes. Not to mention a lot of libraries that constantly get deprecated or don't work anymore with React 19.
No. JavaScript is a mid-level developer’s heaven — everyone has a right to framework
