Any language is more suitable to a task than Javascript.

(It's only partially objective. I have technical reasons for my hatred of Javascript, but I try to accept that it has uses. I'd just sooner change careers than use Javascript in any measurable amount.)

I think that's the consensus.
I mean Javascript is the only language that's so bad that both Google and Microsoft had to create other languages that transpile to it (with Dart and Typescript) to avoid writing javascript.

OTOH, JavaScript may be the closest to Lisp an Algol descendant gets.

I am of the personal opinion that JS is hot garbage.
