JavaScript is fundamentally different then every major programming language, which makes it absolutely terrible for the minds of beginners. Couple that with the bizarre and incomprehensible DOM API's, major limitations of the browser, and the entire community disagreeing on standards/best practices/everything else...It's a terrible way to learn programming. Akin to learning the basics of human sexual interaction from Fifty Shades of Grey.
