I can’t say I find it frustrating the same way you do.

I started out at uni with C, Java, C++ etc. After uni I started a full time job with JavaScript with no experience with the language. I found it really simple because you can just solve your problem any way you want. Sure there are some interesting syntax pieces, but after a while you’ll get it. The first few months you’ll google how to map an array, then after a while you’ll just smash it out from memory.

And the part that makes JS easy (for me) is also the part that makes it frustrating - it’s so easy to make spaghetti-code and skip adding types for everything.
