None of this is true. Pretty much all JavaScript code is slop because the language is god awful. It’s so bad that we spent the last 20 years trying to code around the severe limitations of the language itself. Despite everyone knowing that JS sucks, no one has been able to displace it. Slop wins. Typically because of first mover advantage.

Everyone who sucks at JavaScript says this. Same with CSS lol

  The language itself is bad. Even the creator admitted it.

    Crockford was not wrong that there are beautiful corners in JS. It's at its best for functional programming. If you don't know that style, then JS will be very unpleasant to use.
