Maybe massive was an exaggeration. Before node 8.10, AWS Lambda used 6.10 which was frustrating. If you used async/await so you would have to transpile your code or upload a node binary. So really it's more convenient.

Not sure why it takes 10 months to move to the new runtime.

On the whole I feel like the JS/TS eco-system is getting better and better. Especially since browsers and runtimes are converging towards ES6/7 :)
