But JS isn't just a tool. No programming language is. JS is more a workshop that happens to contain, amongst its stations, a less-than-safe circular saw. And you can absolutely, productively use the shop without using the saw, or by using the saw, if necessary, with additional safety precautions. And because some people use the saw willy-nilly, you're saying we should throw out the whole shop?
