This is a pretty important idea, glad you wrote this post. I also hated Javascript for the longest time. Probably went through all the stages of grief and never quite got to acceptance until recently. I think what I really hated wasn't Javascript itself, it was the way it interacted with HTML/CSS that felt really hacky. Now we have stuff like ReactJS, Vue, and Polymer, that make everything programmatic and more like traditional software development.
I also found that often times it isn't the technology that's the problem. It's the software built with that technology. PHP was an awful language for the longest time, but the latest versions have made significant improvements. Yet the biggest PHP projects run on stuff like Drupal and Wordpress which are still terrible technologies. Java is also not so terrible a language, but Java projects tend to be extremely over-engineered which colors our perception of the language itself.
All that being said, Python and/or Go are still my languages of choice for server side work :)
