My first impression of Javascript was that it combined the slower performance of an interpreted scripting language with the finicky curly-brace/semicolon syntax of C, then gave overly verbose names to all the most common methods. I'm sure there's uglier out there, but this combination really stuck in my mind when I first used it.
(Yeah, I know V8, ES6, etc. It's gotten better, but I've never forgotten that first impression.)
You're first impression is unfortunately just a first impression. The 'slower performance of an interpreted scripting language' is a myth since it is actually compiled to native by the V8 engine.
