From what he wrote, he was writing Java and switched to JavaScript. C# got lambda expressions years before Java, if he wasn't using them, then yes, those languages are very restrictive. They solved most of the expressiveness problems; at least for me. And Java only got them a year or two ago didn't it? I use typescript a lot at the moment, I really miss it now when I have to write vanilla js, but it's still not a great language. You still have to think about 'this' a lot, 'this' still causes bugs, in many ways it's over verbose because every property and method call has to be prepended with 'this.'.
