And the Javascript world has gotten a defined syntax for modules, package managers, and build tools that implement build pipelines, compilation, and linking. Same concepts, new language and environment.

My point is that building complex software inherently involves _some_ amount of complexity on the development side, which is reflected in the language syntax and tooling used with that language. Now that people are building complex apps in Javascript, we're seeing catch-up in the tools used to build Javascript apps to match the tools that have existed for years on the desktop/native side.
