Considering the community we are on, I assumed the criticism was more about the privacy problems surrounding the engine and browser security model than the quality of the language itself. If that was the intent, I mean... Yeah, its weak typing is a fucking mess.
That's fair. I just assume most people who reflexively insult JS are like that usually because they've written something in it, rather than having dealt with the many vulnerabilities and annoyances browsers have made possible with it
