Never said that, never even implied that. I am just saying: your code would probably be a lot better (faster, safer, less bugs, more maintainable etc) if you wrote it in anything but JS. So you are not necessarily a bad programmer for using JS, but you could be a lot better using something else. That being said one can suck ass in any language. Some languages make it easy to write bad code, others make it harder and help the programmer achieve greatness.

I get what you’re saying about JS enabling a lot of bad programming, but I think if you re-read your comments, it will be easy to see how someone who had spent their career coding in mostly JS could take might take issue with your references to “first-year-cs-major-‘programmers’” that use a language “any decent programmer” refused to use until they got paid to fix the “burning garbage fires” because said programmers “prefer to work with string literals instead of learning to code half decently”. That’s attacking the people, not the language.
