JS is a terrible language. The amount of pitfalls, language features you must avoid, and obscure paradigms you must follow to make JS usable is mind-boggling. Just because you can use JS well doesn't mean it's a good language.

Out of curiosity, what languages do you think are good ones?
Scheme is a good programming language.
Good? That's harder to answer. Not terrible? Java, C, Python, C#, Swift, Go...
no longer is too good or too bad, it depends on how much time you spent on it and how good you're at it actually.
