Anytime I see something that's in JavaScript that doesn't have to be, I immediately close the page.

There's literally a hundred languages you can choose.

What makes JavaScript such a terrible fit compared to the other 100 languages you have in mind?
Async by default. Promise chains. Strange unpredictable typing. Many more strange things.

It was half ass browser language originally with improvements bolted on.
