the_cat_kittles I think you don't get the point of my answer or simply my answer was confusing, sorry for that. I did not wanted to start a big discussion here and just throw a controversial, stupid example. But it very clearly shows my main point. The point is that it is easily to write a code in Javascript that looks ok, but is not. The lack of good type system, legacy of how it was implemented on the beginning and everything connected to lack of general safety leads to this conclusion.

I disliked it myself up until ES6 when it started to be "enjoyable" or..should I say less annoying. I program in 6 languages (it may not be much but enough to draw a conclusion from a sample) and I can't say I have one without it's list of wtf's. By placing big keywords in your bio like "Serial enterpreneur, haskeller, programming languages design freak, former senior R&D technical director in the biggest film studios in Europe" + "hates java script" and keeping your flag up here makes it look very unprofessional. Of course, who are we to judge if not...your target audience for a "functional programming language", visual or not. I remember when RoR came out and some [1] "cool dudes" decided to mock everything else on the planet. RoR vs php, RoR vs this and that. It made me feel sick even though RoR was a big step up from everything else back then. It took me 2 - 3 years to even consider it because of that.
