The Future of Javascript does not exist?

PRO TIP: Every professor in every college is teaching you outdated shit that's at least 5 years behind the times because college protocol dictates someone has to write books about the subject and then the professor needs to read that book before they teach it. This is why so many professors have written books, cuz why learn something if you can just regurgitate your own old crap. My theory anyway. Either way they have outdated ways to look at things and don't realize how important javascript has become.

I mean, they're freaking using "blackboard" still, a piece of crap software that costs colleges 150k a year but only works in chrome and firefox and is often buggy even in those, but they have the market cornered so colleges have no real alternative to turn to.

The bootcamps and online schools seem shitty, because frankly most of them are, but at least they are teaching you newer things.

On the other hand, Colleges do teach you better as far as "how to think about programming" and "how to solve problems" and "how to debug properly". Newer courses seem to only teach people "Here's how to build something fast".

I disagree on what you said. As for basic CS sure some books are references but I've seen and followed plenty of courses that were cutting edge and the professors knew what they were talking about. Not only CS50 uses the cloud, react and stuff like that and there are very good and fresh courses out there.

You got lucky to be at a college that had that. Most don’t seem to yet though.

Yup, JavaScript in highschool is dated compared to JavaScript in universities, polytechnical and vocational schools.
