I think calling anything in the JavaScript ecosystem “mature” is a bit of a stretch. This is the same community that brought us left-pad.

10 years ago though

And here we are, almost all the complaints from a decade ago still have relevance

Some wounds never heal. Like Angular 1->2.

That's an insane take. Anything?!?

Can you name a single thing in the JavaScript ecosystem which has been stable for 10 years?

Express

Express, Lodash, jQuery, require still works, the language itself.

Lots of CSS stuff are still virtually the same, as it only gets additions.

Vue.js API from 10 years ago still works fine in newer versions.

React class components still work. Even Hooks themselves are pushing 7-8 years now.

Can you name a major Java framework or library (that's not abandonware)?
