Meh. JavaScript isn't horrendous. It's not great, but every language has its flaws, even ES6. It gets the job done and lets us make stuff and go home at the end of the day having made stuff. It's good enough.



Without starting any religious wars, I think we could all name at least one language that is very poorly and even dangerously designed, even though it lets you make stuff which sort-of works and earn money.


Hey now. Let's not bring COBOL/C/C++/VB/Perl/MEL/PHP/MUMPS/JS into it.


This attitude is the enemy of progress.
