I graduated in 1990 in Electrical Engineering and since then I have been in university, doing research in the field of DSP. To me programming is more a tool than a job.
This sheds a very ugly light on SpaceX and their commitment to quality. I mean, managing something as risky and complex as a rocket with a web browser and a language as frail as Javascript? A language that converts everything in everything else, making equality not transitive? A language that allows this destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat ?
No, definitively it is not acceptable, even if it controls just some minor stuff. A bug there could trigger a cascade.
Yet they managed to dock into the ISS successfully. Is that unacceptable to you too? You would've coded the ui with assembler I assume.
People trash languages just for trashing them. It literally doesn't matter if you get to space with that, you won't be taken seriously. I don't find the logic in that argument.

Bugs speak more to the developer than the language. People bash JavaScript because they jump in without understanding it.
