While we were busy trying to figure out which front-end library to bet on next, JavaScript itself has been going through an evolution of its own.

One thing's for certain – while the JavaScript of 2024 still feels familiar, there's no guarantee that we'll be able to say the same about the language we write five years from now.

Until then, you can help chart our path by taking this year's State of JavaScript survey!
