>I'm sure my comment will trigger negatively a ton of developers, because talking about JS like this it's going to feel like I've insulted a cult

What a completely unnecessary thing to say in the middle of an otherwise reasonable post.

Not really. I agree with the statement.

It's applies for many programming groups. Those like to live in their realm, one where that their language is the greatest and thou can't be spoken negative about.

Just try mentioning C++ to a bunch of Go programmers or Python to a bunch of Rust programmers.

Not to say there isn't crossover but it's all ironic really, as most languages were crafted from C.

20 years of programming languages predate C.
