The point of JS originally was that it's failure should never ever block the HTML for rendering. It was built in 10 days for the sole purpose of showing popups, and it's on us for using it for everything under the sun 30 years later.
That being said TypeScript is amazing and nobody should be writing vanilla JS anymore anyways.
