In my opinion JavaScript is a good language, but it's easy to write unoptimized or insane code with it, hence its bad reputation. "There are no bad tools, just bad developers", yadda yadda. On the other hand, maybe its transition from a simple client-side language (merely meant to enable dynamic interfaces in web pages) to a full-fledged, general purpose scripting language wasen't as smooth as it should've been. The people at ECMA should impose more standards in order to avoid the tiny but frustrating inconsistencies across JS engines.

This is really a great topic! So many things as a JS dev, I have taken these stuff for granted but now each line that I write I can be more aware and be thankful for all these abstraction baked in JS.

high-level single-threaded, garbage-collected, interpreted (or just-in-time compiled), prototype-based, multi-paradigm, dynamic language with a non-blocking event loop🔥, way to sum it.!!!
2:40, this is unfair: that cartoon showed interpreter reading legal instructions, while the compiler saw errors. The actual difference is that interpreter will show to you your errors at each instruction, while compiler will list all your errors, not "leaving you on your own" - _of course, compiler errors can be combined to raise new ones, but that is a minor a detail_ . 3:28, C++14 (since 2014) has a much better solution: const auto foo = "hello world!"; //foo is deduced as 'const char *', but you can convert it to 'std::string' at any time. const auto bar = 23; //It's an int, because literal number defaults to int. const auto baz = 42F; //A float. Just trying to complicate matters. constexpr auto fun () { return bar + baz; //Returns float: int + float = float. Always the more detailed 1 wins. Even fun will return its value at compiling time. } All of that at compiling time, not losing performance, as it would happen at runtime.
