What is "this"?
> Most of your post amounts to "program better", which is vacuous advice
No it's not. It's certainly better than dwelling on some edge case shortcomings and limiting your growth by blaming the tools.
No tool is perfect. Learn to use it better. Master it. Improve it. If you want to use a different tool, then use a different tool. There's no need to spread negativity.
There has been plenty of progress in Javascript idioms & programming idioms in the past few decades. You can accomplish many things with Javascript and the environment will only continue to improve. Programmers will continue to get better from the ecosystem & practices that have been learned over time.
Even your mighty Haskell is not perfect. Time to accept non-perfection & evolve :-)
> Have you used languages not from the same tradition as Javascript?
Yes, I have. I also draw inspiration from other languages & environments.
> It is possible, even likely, that you are not aware of the options that are available out there, even today.
Yes, I'm aware. When they prove themselves, I'll consider using them. In the meantime (and always), I'm happily mastering my craft free of unnecessary angst.
