I've worked with for 2 years now and I also have a love-hate relationship with JavaScript.

Hate: 'cause of all of its akward things and shitty type system (and I regret some choices made by the community that built tools for its ecosystem).

Love: This is one of few languages that let me program how I want and doesn't make choices for me (I can choose between promises and callbacks, between OOP and FP, etc...).

So, I still enjoy teaching it but when I need to build a robust frontend app, I prefer Elm (and I keep an eye on PureScript).
