The only reason JS is popular is because it holds a monopoly in the space it operates in. There are so many superior languages to it.

  Jeez, this horse always gets beaten to death, twice. We get it. You hate JS. ${language_of_choice} is better because [Reasons]. In the end, it doesn't matter. JS is here to stay. If you don't want to write it, don't write code for projects that need it. Constant complaining about its faults does nothing at all except produce noise in threads like this. And, fwiw, I don't see too many C projects for Front-end solutions like e.g. React. Maybe that means JS is a superior language in the context of the problem is was made to address. Holy shit! Who would have thought that "it depends" applies to development?!

    A bit defensive, aren't we? I didn't see OP say anything about hating JS, just that it only got popular for the wrong reasons.
