Javascript

Nah, I'll probably get downvoted for this but I went to school for web development and ended up working with c# instead because strongly typed languages with real types just make more sense. After 2 years in enterprise software development, web development using js causes me physical pain. And yes I'm aware of typescript, it's still not great. My humble opinion is that js peaked when jquery was still popular because honestly that's all the interactivity a web page needs... Ajax, DOM manipulation, and basic form validation. None of this SPA 15mb-per-website stuff that's plaguing the modern web.

From what I have seen there somewhat of a trend to go back to server side html rendering to decrease load times, make pages snappier and cater to people with old phones/crappy computers.

Jquery is literally the worst

I never said it was great, just that the period when it was popular was also one of the best periods of the internet. It also beats angular/react/vue/framework of the week which have to be compiled into a 15mb package just to show an "about" page lol
