It was made in 10 days, its type system is a mess, its syntactic shit, and there are just better replacements out there that will never see the light of day due to how big its already gotten

Coming from other languages I find the async by default thing annoying but I fully understand it's necessary for web sites to render in real time.

Well, use typescript. There's no excuse to use pure JS nowadays. It doesn't solve everything, but it for sure solves 95%+ of JS issues.

Or use WebAssembly, I think it's usable nowadays?
