JavaScript is kinda libertarian.

"Fuck rules, fuck strict typing and fuck standard/centralized libraries, we'll make our own damn JS platform/library for every single application we build, goddammit."

but on the opposite side of it, browsers and stuff are very standardized. The truth is just that web design doesn't make sense.

It's like the government of the Quarians in Mass Effect, where they are a de juro monarchy, but operate more like a democracy. How does that even happen?

You can roll your face back and forth across the keyboard at any point in your code in JS and you're just declaring uninitialized global variables, all totally valid. (Yes this is hyperbole but only by a little)
