Even if Javascript didn't have all its weird edges, I would not use it more than required. I prefer the benefits of typed functional programming. But at the same time I'm thankful that anything at all exists in this space that is cross-browser supported. (And especially that I can compile typed functional languages to it.)

I have been working with Javascript for 18 or so years now. Long before it was viable to create a full browser-based application.
