Speaking as someone with a lot (20+ years) of dev experience, I highly recommend that you switch to a more mature language ecosystem. Other than the fact that it's in every browser, javascript is a horrible place to learn how to code. Javascript development is a total mess. Even very experienced people spend a ton of time trying to navigate that ever-shifting terrain. It's also a very primitive, clumsy language, missing the most basic tools that a developer might want (e.g. first-class includes and packages, for starters). To top it off, in my experience, the average JavaScript developer is quite inexperienced. The good examples of javascript code are outnumbered 100:1 by bad examples. If you're doing web dev, Ruby and Python are good places to start. Pick a language where there are a core set of experienced leaders who have been working for years, and there's a small set of "right" ways to do things.
