(I'm the OP) I guess some of my dislike of Javascript leaked in. But for the most part this is about the early days of the language when its quirks were more glaring as the mitigations and improvements hadn't been discovered/created. My personal feelings about it are more a general distaste for dynamically typed stuff. I rarely had to tangle with it professionally and cheerfully admit my ignorance of best practices!
