JavaScript lets you code however you want. It gives you a million ways to do everything. This can definitely be confusing, slow, and overwhelming. However, if you choose a paradigm and stick to it JavaScript can be great. I've been using it as a forgiving functional programming language and it's amazing. Cleaner code than python, easier to reason about (thanks to pure functions + immutability, which you could also do in python or many other languages to be fair) and a very robust ecosystem for web development.
