Using C++ daily, whenever I do js/ts are some javascript variant, since I don't use it daily, and update becomes a very complex task. frameworks and deps change APIs very frequently.

It's also very confusing (and I think those attack vectors benefit exactly from that), since you have a dependency but the dep itself dependent on another dep version.

Building basic CapacitorJS / Svelte app as an example, results many deps.

It might be a newbie question, but, Is there any solution or workflow where you don't end up with this dependency hell?

Don't use a framework? Loading a JS script on a page that says "when a update b" hasn't changed much in about 20 years.

Maybe I'm being a bit trite but the world of JavaScript is not some mysterious place separate from all other web programming, you can make bad decisions on either side of the stack. These comments always read like devs suddenly realizing the world of user interactions is more complicated and has more edge cases than they think.

There's no solution. The JS world is just nonstop build and dependency hell.

Being incredibly strict with TS compiler and linter helps a bit.
