love seeing all the constant updates but sometimes i feel like the biggest pain points just stick around way too long - you ever feel like these standards chase the wrong problems sometimes?
"sanity" might refer to default behaviors. If it does, there's not a lot you can do there either. You can't go changing fundamentals of how the language works, because backwards compatibility is paramount. There would be riots if a new standard broke significant chunks of legacy code - even for the better.
