C also has "better" I'd argue that average person programming in C is more matured, and understand nitty gritty of programming, computer science, performance and how things work at low level far better than, say, Visual Basic or even Java programmer. I think we have been putting too much faith in to languages. After certain level of sophistication, the weight of quality shifts to person programming in it instead of language itself. However most language designers would tell you that their holly grail is to shift this threshold so programmers can be as lower in skills and ignorant as possible while quality of program as high as possible. Lot of these things can be also said for JavaScript. I've now coded fair bit in plain JS constantly avoiding temptation to use some other language that compiles to JS (and even avoid TypeScript for that matter). Just 100% pure JavaScript. And I can tell you that my habits and flow is very different when I code in JS. Back then I though coding in pure JS would blow everything up just because of lack of types or silly thing like missed semicolons or as simple stuff like forgetting to pass 10 in parseInt. The fact is that none of these bothers me at all anymore. I rarely find bugs that can be attributed to these deficiency in JavaScript. Strongly typed languages now feels like some kind of over hyped hoax.
