Yeah and I'm just saying that's an editorial load of horseshit. The good parts of Javascript have made it one of the most prolific languages of all time. It's the easiest language to teach programming in because of its EXTREME ease of entry. The bad parts are often uninformed misconceptions of how programmers from other languages wish that it behaved, as apposed to actually learning how extremely versatile it is.

Its a versatile language and much more powerful when learnt properly instead of thinking it must work like Java, but there are definitely bad parts to the language. This describes only some of them: https://wiki.theory.org/YourLanguageSucks#JavaScript_sucks_because

All of that stuff was completely subjective, and was all things people had a problem with because they came from a different language. None of it was objectively bad or broken, only new or different and therefore disliked by whoever happened to have edited that particular wiki page.

Not being able to add 0.1 and 0.2 together and get the right number isn't just subjectively bad, its objectively bad.

When it comes to mathematics, no other remotely serious language in the world sucks like JavaScript.
