I love shitting on Python, but I feel like all those problems are present in libraries for other languages as well. There's a tonne of that crap for JS/TS.
Similarly, I find a fair number of Rust crates (that I want to use) have virtually no doc or inline examples, and use weird metaprogramming that I can't wrap my head around.
Are we living in a world in which the JS/TS ecosystem is the yardstick by which we measure well written code? I mean... Wait a minute! I figured it out! This is the Bad Place!
Every time I have a problem, I throw a regex on it, and BOOOOM, right away I have a different problem
