I can deal with JS's warts because the tooling is so much better. The other language I make my living with is PHP, and while it's much improved from before, the global function namespace is still a garbage fire, and you need extra linters like phpstan-safe-rule to force you to use sane wrappers.
I recently moved from a C# backend startup to a TS backend startup and the lack of runtime types is a real friction point I feel every day with how the code has to be written (e.g. end up writing a lot of Zod; other projects have different and varying types of drudgery with regards to meta-typing for runtime)
Some people are likely to claim it's not the case anymore and so on, but it's my recent experience on Debian. The JVM environment has its warts and Maven sometimes feels like a huge dumb golem but at least it doesn't come across as whiny or make you feel like a second class citizen.
Yes, plenty of experience in the first two, but the last two are better contenders. At any rate I work primarily with TS when I do front-end code, it's very rare for me to write raw JS, so a lot of footguns automatically go away.
