Javascript, I know there will be many haters, my reasons are * it runs on so many devices, browsers, servers, mobile, IoT, what's next... * large community of developers * huge number of available modules * decent performance (and improving with things like asm) * so many languages compile to it I think it is important to think not only of where the language is today, but where it will be in 10 years or more. Sure there are issues with Javascript, their are issues with NPM, etc, etc, but with the huge body of developers working on javascript and the javascript ecosystem, I suspect these will continue to be worked out. Javascript devs have a bit of a cavalier attitude at the moment (I'm one), but I think/hope that over the coming years we will work out the existing issues and make javascript a more respected language.
