I read the entire article based on the misconception that the title was "At some point, JavaScript not good", which I thought was an amusing title, and also a pithy way to express what I've felt for a long time. So I read and read, expecting to get to the part where the author explains why JavaScript is not good at some point. But it never came.

I spent four years building an in-browser digital ad auction manager in JavaScript that truly bent my mind and that also delivered millions of dollars in ad revenue. You would think I would come away from that experience thinking "I know JavaScript", but I instead I came away thinking "That was hell, I never want to work in JavaScript again".

I worked on that project over the time period when ES6 was introduced and also later transitioned everything to TypeScript. I agree that things got better, but I still think that JavaScript is pathetic.
