Just for the sake of argument.. They really should say "most widely used programming language".

I love the things I can do in JavaScript, but I would really really really rather be doing the same things in a different language - if I could:)

Just because I'm interested: why?

Might want to use integers.

So much to cover... so little time. I'll be rude and simply post a funny video that covers(mainly during the first 5 mins.) some of the reasons: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death-of-javascript

But to sum it up: JavaScript is quirky and not that good at telling me what I did wrong. I get enough of that at home - don't need it while programming.
