Resuming:

I know that we are still in the wild west but Javascript Land should start learning politics.

Javascript Land tribes need to merge and get a larger population support, a small tribe even with fast weapons will never be more than a guerrilla. External support is also crutial (Angular, React and Typescript without Google, Facebook and Microsoft, respectively, wouldn't be nearly as strong. Even Meteor has external support: Horowitz). It completely saddens me watching little tribes as Elm, Purescript or Clojurescript struggling even with such a great weaponry. These little tribes should at least merge. Sometimes is too difficult but other times is just pride: their leaders want to remain as such. Stepping down a bit in the hierarchy doesn't seem acceptable for them, they prefer to be the leaders of the guerrilla till the end - because normally there is an end.

Politics are boring and ugly but they work: just look at Meteor.
