JavaScript Kicks - JSK Weekly - May 12, 2021

Happy Limerick Day! 

JavaScript was made for the masses,

It lacked types, and modules, and classes.

But it became quite the giant,

Because it ran on server and client,

Until it crashed both, despite 100 test passes.

On a more serious note, because we love JavaScript, check out "Writing the Perfect ReadeMe for Your Node Library" and "Top 10 React Hook Libraries", both on Bits and Pieces.
