I don't care about the tools at all, I just want to make things. If I can have something up and running in 5 minutes, great. I might enjoy it enough to dig deeper and learn something more complicated (maybe even a new language!). But if it takes an hour just to hello world, I probably wouldn't bother. These are just toys I might have fun with. And I do know many other languages, I just don't want to learn a whole new one just so I can play with a new toy. Not everyone needs to be a programmer. Just because someone happens to know js doesn't mean they're interested in being the best programmer in the world. Just because I enjoy brewing my own cup of coffee once in a while, doesn't mean I need to perfect the art of grinding my own beans by hand and crafting the perfect espresso. I got into programming by playing with Lego Mindstorms when I was a kid. The building block coding interface was really fun and intuitive. "Oh no," a purist would sneer, "you can't code like that, it's horrible. Here, read this tome on C and microcontroller programming before you start." No thanks. I got to enjoy the end result immediately (making a fun robot), and then from there I could look further into making something more complicated, which ignited my programming journey.
