I didn't didn't mean to imply JS was more or less buggy than C++ or Java. Regarding the article you linked to, I recommend reading the discussion in the comments section (https://medium.com/@oxymor0n/eric-9f4869bb0ecb https://medium.com/@oxymor0n/eric-9f4869bb0ecb). The UC Davis paper, for example, concludes: "...language design does have a significant, but modest effect on software quality. Most notably, it does appear that strong typing is modestly better than weak typing, and among functional languages, static typing is also somewhat better than dynamic typing. "This is strong evidence that functional static languages are less error prone than functional dynamic languages … In order to strengthen this assertion we recode the model as above using treatment coding and observe that the Functional-Static-Strong-Managed language class is significantly less defect prone than the Functional-Dynamic-Strong-Managed language class with p = 0.034."
