Curious about the State of JS survey, did y’all participate in 2024?

@zachleat we're so behind on new things and our tech has remained static, it’s hard to motivate to learn about new things
@sangster what new things do you feel like you’re missing out on?
@zachleat We're *starting* to look at Web Components and Shadow DOM to replace our Preact-powered design system, which is exciting. We're currently pretty stuck in not being able to use elements like Dialog / Popover or other newer language-feature things because our polyfilling solution (an internal fork of polyfill.io) no longer gets updates and there's little engineering time available to replace it.
@sangster tech debt is such an unforgiving beast!
@zachleat how very meta to make a survey about a survey. 😂
@autumn please take my best surveys of 2024 survey—we rate all the surveys
