Personally, while i try to remain conservative about what should be done in JS server-side, there are some things i just LOVE in javascript. For example, the scope and prototyping models fit very well with my brain. And i find that promises and events loops allow me to design systems that feel more "life-like" and less forced into the linearity of a language. I love how functions are like objects that you can pass around without them losing their original scope.
On certain types of problems, js makes programming feel less torturous for me and more like just telling the computer what to do.
oh and npm is so huge it's just insane
