It's best not to touch anything web related, lest you want to go mad. It's like the elder scrolls or laying eyes on some cosmic horror creature. Tbf this also goes for C++

At least C++ build tools are easier than modern JS.

I don't think "easier" is the right way to compare here. The C++ build tools will absolutely rewrite your code into something you can't expect to guess, but it doesn't make them hard to "use".
