Javascript is a tool. The fact that it runs in a browser and on a server means that communication between the client and the server in a Javascript-based web application becomes a lot simpler. If you know how to use the tool, it will serve you well.

You can find things to gripe about in every language you'll ever work with. Javascript is available. Use it and contribute to it's community, or don't. Griping is not contributing. It doesn't solve any problems.

If you think Javascript could use improvement, write a library to help solve a specific problem or contact emca and report your problem/issue/idea-for-improvement.

Basically just stop complaining and start working. If you are of the opinion that Javascript is a horrible language that is bound to make your project un-maintainable and disgusting regardless of your expertise then choose a different language.

Off to write come C :)
