Slow

Unstable

Ugly

Slow - true

Unstable - false

Ugly - maybe write better

Doesn't know the difference between null and undefined - `===` is your friend

Function signatures are more of a suggestion. You can call a function with any number of arguments and with arbitrary types. And you can add strings to ints but multiplication gives NaN. Lots of arbitrary design choices.

Try blasting a nodejs server with 1000 req per second and you'll see the stability issues I'm talking about

using a different JavaScript runtime than nodejs would yield a completly different result. Heard of bun?

Surprised to see JavaScript being suggested as ugly compared to go. Wouldn't be one of the disadvantage of JavaScript IMO.
