I have 30+ years of experience writing C/C++. And I implement applications written in JS a lot faster than when using C/C++. A good developer can be productive in any programming language.

> A good developer can be productive in any programming language. I agree. I am just more productive in C and Python for most things over JS. However, the tools and language that you use matter. Brainfuck is turing complete, I could program a full game engine in it, but that would be a waste of time. The language that you use will make a difference in the time it takes to program something, and the most important part how maintainable it will be in the future. Javascript is some of the most unmaintainable code on the face of the planet, and that is coming from someone who has probably programmed more in JS than in any other programming language.
