Here is an article I read some time ago by Eric Elliott about static types. Static types doesn't seem to have enough impact on bug density based on his analysis.

I can't speak for anyone when it comes to Javascript love, but there is a quote from Bjarne Stroustrup ( creator of C++ ) that I like:

There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

I imagine all programming languages are horrible, if they were not, we would stop coming up with new ones.

Not all programming languages are applicable to all problems. Also tech changes. A lot.

complain != horrible. Javascript is horrible to work with. I complain about python all the time.

Those are diff statements.
