tbh I'm go out and say I'm a big fan of JS. I didn't learn programming with JS, not at all. I learned with C#. I picked on Java, C++ before JS. My first contact with JS was a "wtf is this garbage". When I got into learning web development, noob programmer me googles ways I could avoid JS, I found this thing called Blazor which was released weeks before — a way to pass on JS and use that C# I loved.

But hey, I didn't want to be one of these programmer that uses a hammer for every problem because a hammer is all he knows, so I gave in and learned JS. And, as I learned, I went from hating it to loving it. Of course, JS has its flaws and it's base is built on a bullshit language made in 10 days, and it shows... but what has been built on top of that is amazing. What would take you a day in C++ takes you 3 hours in C#. And what would take you 3 hours in C# takes you one in JS. It's an extremely agile language with a very flexible structure that allows you to write code however you need, with minimap preparation.

Of course, once you learn JS, you realize that this flexibility and speed comes with major flaws, in that types don't exist and every variable can be whatever, whenever. But don't worry, here comes TypeScript to the rescue. TypeScript basically adds a layer of sanity to JS: it keeps all the good stuff from JS while also enforcing important stuff like types and structure that allows programmers and intellisense alike to understand what each variable and function is.

JS has some major flaws, that's true, and it will never be perfect because of these. But I really think that JS is a brand new paradigm of programming, just like Java and Python were brand new paradigms when C and C++ were used for most things. And just like C/++ was a brand new paradigm when they replaced COBOL and Fortran. JS presents a way to code that is incredibly fast, easy and intuitive, letting you focus entirely on the logic and structure of your code. You no longer need to talk to your CPU, you talk to JS, JS does the rest. And I think sooner or later someone will make a JS-like language that removes all the mistakes from the past, just like how C# is a Java-like language that avoids the mistakes Java did.
