I had to deal with large JavaScript codebases targeting IE8 back in the day and probably would’ve slapped anyone back then who suggested using JavaScript for everything. I have to say, though, that faster runtimes like v8 and TypeScript have done wonders, and TypeScript nowadays is actually one of my favorite languages.
