Javascript is shit.
ES6 is chocolate-flavored shit.

Javascript, that's why I rant about it 😂
Currently working with react native + node js.

To be fair, javascript has good things too, and ES 6 has lots of cool features.

Sweet... :)

I used to have this same hate about JS.
I started using the ecmascript 5 version in 2012... That was really awful!

I only changed my mind about js after es6. Not only cause it has classes now, but with all FP improvements made that sweet... The bad part is that es5 still exists under es6 and it's very hard to educate new developers to not use some of its bad features.

I've been very excited about Elm. It isn't so popular but the compiler is sweet cause it gives you good feedbacks about what is the error and how you can fix it without have to figure it out on google , furthermore the developer experience is fantastic at all. Elm applications architecture influenced a lot on to what Redux is today (you are a react developer, you probably have heard about it).

Typescript and Dart can be good, but IMHO it is about the same shit only with a type system. Dart looks like Java, it is even worse.
