Have been a Java developper for 8 years, have been using TypeScript for one year now.

For me, the main selling point of Javascript is simplicity and boot speed. Everything you learned in Object Oriented programming is applicable in Javascript, objects are actually widely used too in Javascript (prototype is a part of Javascript and in 2015 they added class syntactic sugar).

Do not limit yourself, embrace novelty !

It seems I have a lot to learn regarding JavaScript then. Don't worry, I will continue to learn JavaScript, NodeJS and Typescript, which attracts me a lot. It was just to speak out a doubt I had. Thank you for the answer!
