If you don't hate a programming language you simply haven't used it enough or are delusional. Every language sucks in its own special way, js ain't special.
cue “if those kids could read they’d be very upset”
I agree with you that every language has its flaws but JS feels like it was a hodgepodge created without any design philosophy in mind. I don't use C or lisp in day to day work but I can appreciate their philosophies and power. Can't say the same about JS.
If it has a design philosophy, it's "never show an error, even when the user is wrong".
