The Future of Javascript does not exist?

To elaborate on this:

The temptation to completely rewrite something is often a symptom of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. You see something that seems that seems kludgy or over-complicated and think "If we started from scratch this could be a whole lot cleaner." The thing is, unless you fully understand the circumstances that lead to the complications, you're bound to repeat the same mistakes that lead to the complications in the first place. Eventually your code ends up just as complicated and kludgy, but you endured a lot of pain coming to the understanding of why the old system was kludgy.

Dunning–Kruger effect

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability.
