Interesting that:

   - JS ranks high in 'wanted' to develop  
   - JS doesn't appear in 'love' developing  
   - CoffeeScript ranks high in 'dread' to continue to develop

Big discrepancy in appeal for people on the outside looking in compared to those using it!

[ChrisDutrow]

Yeah, and a big endorsement for Rust - at the top of the "love" list.

[onestone]

To be fair, JS appears in 'loved' as Node.js.

[sotojuan]

Sounds right to me. I love writing backend, services, etc in Node but even with libraries I love like React there's a sigh coming out when I start working on a browser app.

[OJFord]

Ah, I overlooked that.

Though - without checking the original questions - that still suggests an element of "came for JS; stayed for Node".

[onestone]

Uncertain. There could be other JS-related technologies below the cut - React, Redux, etc.
