@densedever thank you kind sir! I was in the middle of a meltdown

@DLMousey Fucking seriously! I had a friend breaking down all the different tooling and etc's (i still dont get it) and my first impression was, "ummm... is vanilla JS just broken at a core level that there needs to be so many fucking tools, like wtf". Lol anyway after an hour of trying to figure out what he was talking about we get to "typescript"...
"Yea man typescript is like a superset of js, kinda like c++ is to c" <---- ok that makes sense (false sense of a break through) so you can compile vanilla JS in a ts file?
"No, you need to use ts in a ts file"<----- ***brain explodes, whole being fills with rage***
HOLY FUCK! Why is JS world so fucking confusing? I haven't even started learning it and its already giving me a headache. I feel like there are a billion different things i have to learn that aren't just "vanilla js". All i want to do is learn some web dev, take on freelance work, become a digital nomad. Im a simple C++ and ios/android developer things are so straight forward. JS seems like a clusterfuck of just stuff 😧 Id like to say this isnt a my language is > than yours rant. This is a "like what the fuck" rant. My brain was like Html, Css, JS cool thats all i have to learn... boy was i wrong. Can someone give me a word of wisdom as i go down this apparent rabbit hole?
