I’ve coded in JavaScript since Netscape. I can guarantee you it’s not a “new trend” …😕

Ok if You Say it is im ok with your arguments but in the general scope everyone is hating it but everyone is using it, i understand that if its everywhere one has to use it anyway but it must have more good things to be so popular this days, it cannot be other way, so i see it like a trend since anyone reeds an article like yours and starts having the same point of view

Everybody has to use it, since it's the only (real) alternative to creating browser based apps ... :/

JavaScript has been hated for decades, believe me. Just look at the meme I used. There are thousands like it ...
