I dislike coding in javascript for large project. The language was originally for small stuff.

NodeJS bought it to backend and the language itself weren't meant for it. Since then ECMA5 and stuff tried to fix these shortcomings. But you can't expect me to love javascript's weakly type versus elixir or python's strong type (strong not static, as in it doesn't implicitly type convert stuff like javascript). It's a nightmare and concurrency model in NodeJS in my opinion is subpar compare to Elixir's.
