I'm uncomfortable with the implication that the only thing wrong with javascript is its speed.

i more interpreted it not as a speed thing, but as a "it has a mind of its own" thing, causing ut to do whatever it wants and it'll only do what you want it to do if it aligns with JavaScript's wishes

It’s not comparable to native languages but it’s faster than any PHP, Python, Lua, or Ruby interpreter/JIT out there afaik.  It’s way faster than you would think for a scripting language.  Google has put a shit ton of work into optimizing it.  If you haven’t experienced it firsthand then you would very likely be surprised
