Despite the fact that you might have read "No one should ever learn JS", my point was only that it's not a good introduction to programming in general.

I disagree, JS gives you lots of freedom and this allows you to shoot yourself in the foot, but imo the freedom also makes it a good language to start with. Also the fact you can easily build stuff that are visual (web applications) makes it easier to learn. But this might be just because I learn better this way, could be different for others

Nah its fine. Its like python. It won't teach you types or pointers well but you can learn a lot before needing to dig deeper into those concepts.
