What's great about JavaScript, is that it's so easy to get started with it. If you're reading this message, you already have access to enough tools to get started- nothing to install, nothing to read first, just try something, and see what happens. There are so many examples of code that does what you're likely to think of (if you're new to the language and/or programming). The cycle of "I wonder what would happen if..." to "ah! that's what it does" is so short, it's energizing and thrilling. Anyone can do it!

Joking aside, the original JavaScript was pretty shady. It got things done, but without much concern for maintainability or complexity. It has evolved into a very interesting language, and you can code very elegantly using it. Unfortunately since it still supports the original "let's throw something together" of its early days, it cannot enforce clean programming techniques, and the beauty and quality of JavaScript programs has very little to do with the language, and almost all to do with the programmer.
