Coming into web development fairly recently (after 2013 or so) from the statically typed hemisphere and without closely following the Javascript history from the start I naturally cannot agree ;)

(things like the scoping rules for 'var' is just bizarre, same with the concept of 'prototypes')

Looking at typical "old-school" Javascript code gives me the creeps the same way as looking at K&R C code ;)
