Where are we with JavaScript at PayPal?







JS by the numbers
In our enterprise GitHub, we have:
- 7,064 JS Repositories
- 8,108 ESLint config files
- 1,334 Babel config files
- 236,167 package.json files
Why are we using JavaScript so much?

I prefer JavaScript and steer the team towards it because we have a community in the company to help with problems.
