    Easy to learn, hard to master, used for things it wasn’t created for.

    Yep.

      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.

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

        The goal for Python 3 was to be an all purpose language that the general population could use for their everyday computing tasks

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

    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.
