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.
