I think it stems from the language with it's simple untyped syntax and data-structures.
I like larger projects to be typed and my favorite language at the moment is definitely kotlin, but for quick prototyping I really like hacking things together in JS.

- methyl 10y agoIt's not just about being typed or not. I know huge, successful Ruby codebases which is not typed. Ruby ecosystem is just much more consistent and convenient than JS.
- cel1ne 10y agoI know ruby. I worked with "merb" for a project (before it became rails 3) and use it for shellscripts from time to time. Still JS is somehow more pleasurable, but I guess it's a matter of taste.
