While my initial reaction would be in the vein of "it's not THAT bad" I just want to say that my experience is very similar. I have a kind nostalgia for JS because it was my first foray into 'proper' programming (alongside PHP), and I quite like TypeScript. I'm comfortable enough with JS that I can open the dev tools, write a moderately complex chunk of code, and save it as a bookmarklet or private chrome plugin. I'm a JS native. But good lord do I feel so much better working in Clojure or, day to day, Elixir. There's no way I can comare them to JS and argue for the latter, even with the many improvements since the document.write() days.
