    It’s really not so bad, and worse languages exist.

    Esoteric languages do not count. Super obsolete ones don’t either. At that point you’re left with maybe PHP.

    It’s really just a bad, overused joke.

    Now that might be true. I guess the main counterpoint is that it’s not like you never encounter it, so it’s natural it gets joked about a lot.

      Yeah, I really don’t know what widely used language is worse than Javascript besides php (which is hardly used in new projects).

        Weirdly, Kbin is written in it, though.

        I can assure you that Laravel is still used for new projects
