I used to hate JavaScript but I've done a complete 180 turn on that. I love it now not because of the language itself but because of its absolute ubiquity. I can pretty much use it anywhere for anything now (browser, server, and even as a "stand-alone" app using tech like Electron).

I love a language that gives me all the rope I want.

Thank you! JavaScript surely has its good and bad parts, but being used a lot and useful for many scenarios is something, which motivates a lot. You do not have to use it, if you have other options, which you like, but you definitely can learn to benefit of the good parts of it.
