My problem with it is that it gives people too much freedom. They can write the code in very, VERY ugly ways... And they do. It's a language that let's you write a mess pretty easily.

That's really my only complaint. The ugliness happens mainly in:

  • callback hell. For some reason some people still do callback hell in 2023.

  • functions as objects. This is pretty neat actually, one of the best things in Javascript, but some people just abuse the hell out of it.
