Discussion on: Is JavaScript the most confusing programming language?

I think it's a whole lot simpler and more elegant with es6. Though certainly, js does still have a lot of weirdness going on having one step in the functional camp and one step in the object oriented camp.

I can say that I really disliked js pre-es6, but now I'm fairly content with it. Not to say I don't have some gripes, but overall it's not a terrible language right now in it's current state.

Agreed... I started learning JS right around the time that ES6 started to emerge, and I think its made a huge difference.

I struggle with trying to figure out where it is between functional and object-oriented, and I find myself picking different paths for different use-cases. It's nice to have the flexibility, but it's hard to find a route to consistency.
