Not disagreeing, but as a long time JavaScripter it is remarkable to me that no matter how delightful or expressive or ergonomic the language tries to become, the same old criticisms manage to evolve with it (this may not be unique to JS).

[Edit] JS has long been criticized (fairly or not) for offering clunky "concurrency" strategies. If you must down vote, please have the decency to offer a counter perspective.

As someone who has been around for a long time and manages teams using many different languages (C,C++,C#,Java,Python,JavaScript) my JavaScript/Web teams are the most problematic in terms of cost/performance/gating bugs/upgrades/multi-platform support. The JavaScript critiques that you see are just an expression of the time and resources being wasted.
