No, half the problems with JavaScript are because people refuse to learn it. Just don't write 1+{}. Every time people start bashing JavaScript, it's with these odd-ball examples that they make up.

And this is how add_two_numbers becomes embedded in the node_modules of 73,000 projects on GitHub.

It's okay if JS has warts, but denying they exist doesn't help anyone.

If JS just had stuck to LISP like syntax it'd be quite a bit more usable IMO.
