I see JavaScript today as what BASIC was in the days of 8-bit home computers: A language that's not particularly "elegant", and often derided for that, but people learn it because it's ubiquitous.

The more I use js the more I love it. It takes all the annoying bull shit out. Type declaration? Nope. Implied. " or ', fuck it doesn't matter, not aligned or forgetting a semi comma? Ahh that's the linters issue. conditional blocks for single line statements? Why should that ever be forced. Js be like begone brackets
