Well, no. Nothing about Javascript makes it an "error prone jungle".
It has some strange coercion behavior and some floating point caveats, that programmers can learn and avoid in a week or so of learning the language. After that, it's fairly streamlined and easy to use, and it surely does not necessitate relentless rewriting to fix bugs much more than any other similar language.
Completely ignoring errors relating to function calls with wrong argument counts does increase the probability of hidden bugs. That's not quite easy to avoid completely. Every time a function signature changes, all callers become buggy (without even a runtime error to signify this).
