I disagree. It is true that many Javascript developers lack the formal CS education, but since it is the de facto language of the web with relatively lower barrier of entry, there are many people working on great projects. NPM is the largest package registry in the world, and whenever working on a project I find that I can solve most of the mini problems with a quick search. Jumping from framework to framework without really understanding the underlying technologies/thinking is a problem that should not be attributed to language itself, but to some of its users.

Although this low barrier of entry sometimes lead the users of the language to bad results, I especially like Javascript because of its welcoming nature. One can even argue that it democratises the software creation process on Earth by allowing anyone to quickly start tinkering with it and see the results immediately, most likely in a web environment.

Also, although it definitely has some quirks and may cause some frustration to starters, it also allows an experienced developer to be expressive and quickly build products, and may allow its users to enjoy their martinis.
