Javascript just made it very easy to add libraries. I bet you if it C++ had an ecosystem as easy to use as Javascript, it would be the wildest mess you could imagine. Someone would create a package chock full of generics that sends your credentials to a foreign server during compilation but output a completely fine binary. But making dependency management easy in C++ would kill the elitist allure to the language and we can't have that now, can we?
