So you only hire engineers who are proficient JS programmers? You don't hire great engineers and expect them to learn new skills?

Java is not a language you can learn in a day. Python is not. Ruby is not. Why should only JS have that constraint.

I've been writing Python from time to time for 15 years and I still feel super slow in it. Exactly as you probably feel about JS.

I think you're assuming too much. I do feel proficient in JS. My concern is about bringing new people up to speed.

: we added arrows and classes and modules so you won't have to spend 3 hrs explaining the types & uses of `function`

I agree that classes and modules have made existing features better. Arrow functions may be in that category too.

What worries me are generators, async functions, operator overloading, destructuring, meta-class-ish behaviors, etc

: async functions are a great enhancement; make promise code tons more readable.

Async functions are great, cooperative generators are not.
