      You don’t master Javascript, ever. You just become accustomed to the madness and stop caring, while sometimes doing things right.

      used for things it wasn’t created for

      I think Python gets a point here, as it is very good at doing what it was created for.
      Javascript even sucks at its stated goal.

    I had to do a project once with JavaScript. I did not enjoy the experience. In my opinion, a language where you need a reference to tell true from false is a bad language. So maybe JavaScript is the JavaScript of languages.

    Because JavaScript isn’t a programming language, it’s a compilation target 😅
