JS was better designed than people give it credit for or it wouldn't have lasted anywhere near as many decades without being replaced by something else. JS has also had a lot of its "mistakes" fixed since 1995. It does so in a backwards compatible way and it isn't always obvious how much progress has been made, but it has never been a static unchanging, "unfixed" language. (Personally, I'd much rather work with JS on the backend than golang. Golang looks to me like a throwback to the 1970s that misses good language design ideas from the 1990s. I understand some of why it has become popular, but there's so much bad design in that language that upsets my nausea.)
