Ok, admittedly I was using typescript but honestly, I really enjoyed using JavaScript. I kinda feel like people who shit on it have never used it much, or aren't very experienced, or it just wasn't to their taste and they're jumping on the hate train that the others like to conduct.
(I also understand this is a joke dw)
It's probably also related to when a person first encountered JS. If you learned it pre-2015—even if you're aware of the changes made in ES6—I can see how it would be hard not to view JS as cumbersome. I personally love to use it, but I can't imagine that would be true without
let,const, classes, etc.Edit also block scoping and arrow functions!
