Effective code splitting and tree shaking can also help reduce bundle sizes significantly, though I agree wholeheartedly that eliminating excessive dependencies from a project is always a must. Another important thing to mention is that certain dependencies can also present critical security risks if they haven't been properly maintained, so it's important to run npm audits routinely to help keep your app secure and your end users (not to mention yourself perhaps from a legal standpoint) safe!

JavaScript is all I know aside from the very basic of basics in C# so it's definitely my first love.
I learned some Basic and C++ in the 90's but I have retained basically zero memory of that venture. The only thing I really remember was the way that the Turbo C++ ide looks.

Javascript has only 2 rules; 1. follow whatever is popular and 2. do not use javascript if you can use something better (typescript, etc).

if someone wants to write clean JavaScript code, I highly recommend this book: "Simplifying JavaScript" by Joe Morgan.
My own golden rule for writing is to avoid using classes or constructor functions. the THIS keyword has some bugs in its design and will create a lot of confusion. JavaScript must be written in a functional way. Then it works smoothly...

The Golden Rule of JavaScript: use TypeScript.

I came to javascript from python, need it for in the browser. It's a hot mess! My policy is only vanilla JS and don't do anything with it that you can do with something else!!!!

those are basic rules. not golden rules. anywhy, typescript would be a good choise in most cases. but it dosent mean you cant write good codes with plain JavaScript. a coder who wrote shity Js, he wrote shity Ts.
