I can totally relate! Don’t get me wrong I’m very thankful to the universe that I am employed but my mental health feels increasingly challenged lately.

I wish that type of experience would be uncommon, rare, exceptions... But in my perspective is the real true state of front-end today. Everything is broken from a outside perspective, so much changes happened that for me learning the overall Common Lisp specification (from 1000+ pages) it's more easy to do JS dev stuff on browser.

Literally my experience trying to use something to calculate distance between two points

Have you tried Math.sqrt((a.x - b.x) * (a.x - b.x) + (a.y - b.y) * (a.y - b.y)) maybe?

Even better:

    npm i pythag
    npm i complex-sqrt

    // then

    var pythag = require('pythag');
    var sqrtrt = (z) => require('complex-sqrt')(z,0);
    let x = 3
    const y = 4
    var result = sqrtrt(pythag(x, y))

I can't tell if you're joking :S
