I've taken more than few jabs at JavaScript. I want you know that I don't hate JavaScript; I loathe JavaScript.
But since turnabout is fair play, let's insult each other's favorite languages.

@sinisterporpoise I used #javascript for a side project. 6 months in, the code became a horrifying mess.
There would be too many warnings and errors in npm. Fixing 1 bug would create 2-3 more. Adding new features became impossible. That codebase still gives me nightmares.
I decided to abandon it and preserve my sanity. Never too late to realise the importance of #typesafety, #testing and keeping #codecomplexity low.
