I'm a backend engineer. My biggest issue with JavaScript is environments that use it in the backend.

JavaScript is designed to run in a way that continue to try to do things even when it's running in to errors. But it does that because I'm a front end that's what you want. In the front end, working but ugly is better than not working at all. In the backend that can be catastrophic, though.
