For example, it has different ways to declare functions because assignment is generally consistent (and IMO easy to understand) and the "simplicity" of Javascript allows you to assign an anonymous function to a variable. However, you can also use a standard function declaration that is more classic.

But I do understand what you're saying. If anything, I think it's generally in agreement with my feelings of "Javascript doesn't need to be more complex."

> There are only two reasons to believe JS is simple: you know too much about it, or you don't know enough.

This is hilarious and probably true. I think I am the former since I've been working with it for 20+ years, but I also think there's a reason it's the go-to bootcamp language alongside Python.
