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.

Or the 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.
