As I read the original post, Javascript the language isn’t the major problem. It’s things like configuration, certificates and (lack of) inter-operability of frameworks. I agree that this stuff is difficult in web development and I think it’s largely accidental complexity.
(That is, the web is a distributed system and distributed programming is hard, sure. But the configuration hell you often run into is separate from that.)

Even for the points of interaction we have protocols that not everybody implements the same (often by mistake, sometimes by choice), but for internals of frameworks and tools, there's very little standardization even within one language, much less intra-language.
