I'm not a Javascript evangelist. I'm the first to admit that it has flaws. Some (like recursion) are fundamentally broken and a trap to unknowing programmers.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone with any real javascript experience who says the entire language is perfect. There are good parts though, and if you stick with them, it's not bad. In fact, it can be a pleasant experience to work with. Just because it's ubiquitous doesn't mean it's all bad.
