I'm so tired of hearing how bad JS is as a language - guess what, it doesn't metter. The ecosystem and community is absolutely amazing and that's something you just can't beat - all the well documented, polished and maintaned libraries, frameworks etc, the amount of books, guides, conferences and so on, the ability to use JS everywhere, tools, services, cloud based solutions and much, much more. That's why people create all the amazing stuff and all of this results in one of the most important things - development speed. Sure, JS has a lot of quirks you need to be aware of and it's easy to write bad JS, but with some experience, you can rapidly write a maintainable, easy to read, flexible and modular code.

Yeah, same here. I have no difficulty writing large scale apps in JS because I play to its strengths and manage its weaknesses. These shit-for-brains "experts" can't, and somehow it's all the language's fault. Here's a clue folks: you're the programmer, it's your job to work out how to programme for your target platform, and if you can't then fuck off and leave it to the professionals.

  "it's your job to work out how to programme for your target platform" - exactly, but there is an active effort to try and put the JS garbage on each and every target platform!
