Not saying you dont understand the language, you clearly do. Just saying that any JS developer worth their salary knows these pitfalls and knows how to get around them or not have them be in the way in the first place.
Now with Typescript making some headway, half these issues you outlined just magically disappear. (I don't use Typescript... yet, my feeling is that if you can't program JS correctly, then having some tool do it for you, hinders you rather than helps you.)
---
All languages have their issues, yes JS may have some basic ones that make other language developers go "wtf", as you clearly are, but clearly these fallacies are not blocking anyone from using the language for really cool programs.
But I digress to what I previously stated.
Any JS developer worth their salary doesn't run into these issues and/or knows how to combat them.
If a laptop had a mechanical switch on the side to turn off the camera like most do for WiFi, I would eventually trust it.
And by that I mean, if this feature is advertised as a way to deny any TLA from snooping, then security-wise people will let us know if it works or not.
That's good enough for me, until, I'm sticking with the tape... or you can go Edward Snowden on your phone/laptop like in that recent VICE episode.
> This is just the tip of the iceberg. I suggest you try it out before you settle.
It does sound nifty, and I will, but I don't nearly have the musical footprint or domain of device capability that would allow me to take advantage of half those features as you do.
I have a feeling it will be like the mentality of a flip-phone to smartphone conversion.

My living room needs a warning sign for people with epilepsy. I don't need to know every flippin bit that is going across the wire for my router AND modem.
The 5 LEDs that are constantly on to indicate connectivity? Useless after the first 5 seconds of booting. I can tell if it's working by having internet or not! I don't need fancy blue then orange then green lights to tell me this.
I feel like marketing said "We need what people see in movies with huge machines and dancing lights that mean absolutely nothing to 99% of the people."
If those LEDs are so absolutely needed to figure out whats going on, then that person shouldn't be trying to figure out whats going on, and they should be put behind a maintenance panel that triggers then being on or off by it being open ( Meaning I don't want a panel to cover it, then seeing a rainbow of colors from the heat vent )

This is where that pesky win10 upgrade actually helps web developers.
Win10 has "Edge", crap browser, but in terms of compatibility, we can stop worrying about fuckin IE 8, 9, 10, and 11... Bout damn time.

And by that I mean, if this feature is advertised as a way to deny any TLA from snooping, then security-wise people will let us know if it works or not.

I'd like to see benchmarks for the areas of jQuery where they claim performance increased, but I can't find any..

If you thought gwx.exe was a bitch, just wait until MS gets their hands on this exploit!
"But... it was the Russians! They thought they could brick all US PC's by forcing Win10 upgrade!"
That's how the CIA found their next drone target!
Once Win10 was started, triangulation was acquired and.... 3... 2... 1... "boom".
You kinda alluded to the reason yourself...

NPR has, recently, shit the bed in terms of "thoroughness".
I'm thoroughly, pun intended, disappointed in NPR's coverage of the recent campaign cycle.
I would honestly rate Fox News and CNN, which is a very, very low bar, as being more "thorough" than NPR.
But remember, even though NPR is "public", NPR itself has its' own agenda which does get influenced by outside entities.
