What you don't understand is that good JS is very hard. It's hard because this language was never designed for application development, it was designed to edit the DOM. Not only is it unhelpful when trying to do things like splitting your code into smaller pieces, do encapsulation, refactoring, write performant code, but it actually HINDERS the programmer when trying to do the above.

This is an anti-programmer programming language. The fact that so many people love it is a bit of a mystery to me and I've actually used it for both DOM manipulation a long time ago and for mobile apps more recently. I will say that it's quite good at being a scripting language for an app UI (QML).
