I agree. As a C++ developer of ten years (before switching two years back), trust me when I say: JavaScript is not a bad language at all. Six years ago I used to laugh at the language. It has come a long way since then (or I've learned more). So much so, it is now my favorite language. As a side note: do try to not convert JavaScript into a static language -- there are certain types of boilerplate/generated code that I could never eliminate with C++ due to static typing. With JS, it was a breeze.

Unsurprisingly, from the point of view of a C++ programmer, JS doesn't look bad at all.

  That's not generally true. Another C++ dev here. I wish Dart had more success... If I were forced today (to do front-end) at least it should be TypeScript.
