These languages are not used by virtually all JS programmers. Babel and TS is.

The other issues you mention are solved by using ESLint which flags code like this.

I do not encounter these issues in my life as a professional JS programmer, neither do my colleagues; and I'm not on my first project, don't worry. For all practical purposes they are non-existent.

anyways, we are all happy for wasm, it's not that we love JS so much.

I actually like JavaScript, with a few changes it can become a good language, safe for a novice programmer.

Agreed. Check out AssemblyScript, you might like that. It's early, though.
