JavaScript is popular because people like half-baked hacky things that give them instant rush/feeling they can do something (i.e. show something basic in a browser). So much effort was spent on painting a lipstick on this pig or to replace it but nothing succeeded unfortunately. It's the equivalent of some fast food in mental domain. If I wanted to damage programmers' minds I would push for this atrocity to become a universal standard. The quality of most node.js modules is horrible which never disappoint in reinventing existing things from other languages/frameworks in inferior ways.
