May i ask why everyone hates JavaScript so much? It's not ironic it's a real question, i can't really get it, is it just because it doesn't have types? Or there's more?
It has a rocky start, and a lot of cruft from that era sticked around.
There are also a lot of horrible legacy projects from the pre-ES5 era which are a pain to work with. Often older projects were coded either before people knew how to do javascript right, or before the devs who wrote it knew how to write javascript right.
