I had to write javascript in the late 90s, 00s. It was truly a horrible experience having to write code for Internet Explorer. Particularly when the world decided every company should use IE 6. javascript did not even have a trim whitespace function. browsers did not even have a nice console to go look at what was going wrong. You had to go install Venkmen to get some debugging capabilities. https://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/venkman/ Or the Microsoft Script Debugger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Script_Debugger Truly horrible times. And despite all the progress, and increase in javascript capabilities, and a larger standard library, I still think javascript is a terrible language.
