> a real language like C#

While I can agree that C# has tons of language features that make it more powerful than JavaScript, I take issue with the idea that those features are the defining characteristic of a "real" language. I think there are many reasons to choose C# over JS, but there are also a non-trivial of reasons to make the opposite choice.
