I've read so many articles about the brokenness of JavaScript and now this, a highly paid professional and well known JavaScript developer says he didn't have a solid grasp after years. From a psychological standpoint, why do people defend the language and keep beating their head against the wall? Why all the hate for Dart when Google tried to offer an alternative? Why wasn't some other alternative built to replace a language that was hacked together in 10 days by Brendan Eich, who designed it for small utility scripts? Why doesn't everybody use TypeScript? I don't get the love for JavaScript.
