Ok, admittedly I was using typescript but honestly, I really enjoyed using JavaScript. I kinda feel like people who shit on it have never used it much, or aren't very experienced, or it just wasn't to their taste and they're jumping on the hate train that the others like to conduct.

(I also understand this is a joke dw)

How much experience do you have? (and don't even think about lying; this is the internet)

Definitely 2023 years worth of experience. I taught Jesus himself JS. Which, fun fact, doesn't stand for JavaScript, but stands for JesusScript. I would never lie on the internet.

It's probably also related to when a person first encountered JS. If you learned it pre-2015—even if you're aware of the changes made in ES6—I can see how it would be hard not to view JS as cumbersome. I personally love to use it, but I can't imagine that would be true without let, const, classes, etc.

Edit also block scoping and arrow functions!

My feelings toward JavaScript depend on the context in which I'm using it. I really like JavaScript in a React app or Next.js, but I don't care for it in Views and Razor page in .NET web applications, though it's getting better.
