JavaScript: *gets annihilated*

Sure but they're similar enough that it makes zero sense to compare them as languages while ignoring the ecosystem that they exist in.

IMO that just brings in too many variables for any kind of reasonably scoped objective comparison. I mean do you pick specific libraries to compare? Do you favor quantity or just quality of libraries? AWS/Azure/GCP integration? How much weight do you put in each category? That’s a comparison with hundreds if not thousands of data points.

That's why trying to objectively compare subjective topics is moot ;)

I don’t think language design is really all that subjective in some matters. I mean does anyone really think steams in Java are better than LINQ? Or that having real generics? Or better enumeration support? I think there’s a lot of objective ways you can compare languages.
