UmiJS: the Shaolin of web frameworks
The father of UmiJS and many other tools I mentioned is Chen Cheng, the person leading the Ant Group's front-end work. They're a very productive and insightful person and open-source enthusiast, to the point of curating one of the most popular JS awesome lists — Awesome JavaScript. I would follow their blog or anything willingly but looks like everything they write is behind some esoteric type of a popular Chinese paywall service so I had left my attempts. Their and their team's repositories are quite popular, especially among the Chinese audience (which is fair).

Show HN: FixBrowser – a lightweight web browser created from scratch
Python may not be the best example, but some other languages also exist and are both less "weird" than https://github.com/denysdovhan/wtfjs and fast (e.g. see http://luajit.org/ which is far less complex than V8).

Companies: We can't find any good candidates!!! Also companies:
Me in the interview: "Generally, no, a variable can only be assigned one numeric value at a time. However, Javascript is famous for unpredictable behaviors in variable comparison statements, for instance [] == ![]. There's actually a whole library built around documenting this type of behavior this for comedic value, and other more serious libraries geared towards solving the problem. So it's possible that some obscure variable assignment scenario would result in that line evaluating as true, but it's not something you'd expect to encounter in the real world. This has gotten a lot better with typescript and es2022, but still something you need to watch for a bit."

“Go is hard to justify unless at massive scale”
I do see that point of view, didn't think of that, there are some aspects of go which are a bit weird if you never touched lower abstraction languages, yet once you learn what they are, you are all set and you can code in anything. go has the least amount of gotchas I have seen in any programming language. compare it with loads of the weird stuff javascript does https://github.com/denysdovhan/wtfjs and go is like heavenly lol
