Can this specific ecosystem please stop being a massive pile of crap? Then maybe we can have something nice to say about it :)
Perhaps the new ECMAScript standard will help. I have my doubts (but as with any statement about the future it is hard to say with any certainty what will happen). The Node rot runs deeper than the usual Javascript nonsense.
If it feels like Javascript is being unjustly maligned: (a), it isn't; (b), wait for the next gnarly buffer overflow exploit to come along and you'll see that people despise C just as much.
I don't think people despise C, they just think it's misused and difficult to master.
With JavaScript, many people are just vitriolic about it. I try to offer counterpoints because I'm a small part of this ecosystem, and I'm thankful for the work people put into open source tools, libraries, etc.
I also happen to think JavaScript is a pretty neat language... like, one of my favorites, despite its shortcomings.
By the way, I don't know of any languages without serious shortcomings... funny, that...
