Depending on who you ask, right now JavaScript is either turning into a modern, reliable language, or a bloated, overly complex dependency hell. Or maybe both?

What's more, there's just so many options: Do you use React or Angular 2? Do you really need Webpack? And what's this month's recommended way of dealing with CSS?

Like you, I spent far too many hours reading about all this, and at the end I still wasn't sure. So I decided to create a survey to see what everybody else thought. It seems like I must've hit a nerve, because I got over 9000 answers in just over two weeks!

Further down in the article, the survey results are listed, though not in an easily scrape-able format. Oddly enough, the site degrades gracefully, and does not require Javascript to be enabled.

    I missed the point at which the subject became women. Let me go back and read through it again . . .

    Degrades gracefully means it says: JavaScript is required for this site.

    The mean things that Clinton says are Trump's own words replayed.

      I don't know. I find it to be pretty mean when she advocates for conducting mass surveillance on the populace, advocates for more interventionism, advocates for restrictions on encryption, and defends for the intelligence community in general. Trump advocates for many of the same things.

        You're right. There is that. I take the "she's mean" comments to be from Trump. The things you describe are what I would call "fascist dictator".

      Have you bothered to read ANY of the emails released by Wikileaks in the past few days? Any of them? The woman has zero regard for the constitution, for taxpayers, for the working man and woman. Zero. She visualizes the same world that the neocons were calling for. Wall Street and the federal government in partnership, ruling the world, milking all men and women for all they are worth.

      Trump the buffoon, vs the evil witch? There really isn't much choice, I'll choose the court jester for "king".
