Language wars. How funny. Hated JavaScript (came from Ruby and this is still my favorite), with CoffeeScript I can look at it because it does not look to ugly :) Yes, some concepts (or the lack of them) show that not the most clever people invented it yesterday and used all the experience from other languages to do that.
But to say a language is bad because people try to make it better over the years as the intended purpose changes and it gets used by much more people is silly. Every language that is used and after every new pattern that proves worthy (DRY, ...) gets it's updates, otherwise it vanishes. And I am in the software business for almost 30 years. Saw many languages and projects. Not a single one failed because of the used language. Some failed because of people not able to understand how do deal with the weaknesses of the languages and frameworks. And bashing around on something without any proof is just wasting my time. JavaScript is definitively one of the most important and most used languages today. Likely because it is unusable and all people who use it are idiots. Really have better things to do.
