Not insightful? I&#x27;m the author. I drew attention to several important facts about JavaScript...<p>1) The language has terribly inconsistent semantics, esp. with regards to its loose typing and aggressive coercions.<p>2) Just because JavaScript is the native language of the web browser, it does not necessarily mean that you must program in it <i>directly</i>. There are dozens of better languages that transpile to it.<p>3) Despite Node&#x27;s popularity, JavaScript is ill-suited for the server side. Have you heard the axiom, &quot;Use the best tool for the job&quot;? On the server side, JS is definitely not the best tool. There are much better languages, such as Go or C# or Scala, just to name a few.<p>4) ECMA is turning JavaScript into a very complicated language. Just look at the size of ES6&#x27;s language spec! JS can no longer claim to be an &quot;easy to learn&quot; language, which was one of the <i></i>key<i></i> reasons for its growing popularity.<p>berserker-one was correct: I wrote a satirical article. It was meant to be funny, and I can testify that many people do find it amusing (based on the responses I&#x27;ve been getting). I&#x27;m sorry you don&#x27;t share my sense of humour. You need to lighten up.
