I've read different defenses for JavaScript for cases like this, which usually runs somewhere from you shouldn't be doing that anyway all the way up to if you just understood the language better you'd know why. While I agree with both of those points strongly as general principles, JavaScript also violates the principle of least surprise enough to make it concerning.

For what it's worth, I do like JavaScript. I really don't think that there is any perfect programming language.

Elixir? Is that the weird older cousin of Gleam?
