Pretty sure you've had this rant already, and like I said last time: modern js is extremely readable and expressive and for 99.999% of typical real world programming tasks language choice is less about runtime performance and more about succinctly describing the behaviors of a program.

JavaScript is the least readable language ever. And it's super clunky. No other language I've used has even come close: C, C++, Java, Python, not even Assembly. No language has made me want to rip my hair out like JS does. It being slow isn't usually that big of an issue, but the fact that other languages perform better and are easier to use...that shouldn't be.

I think C is the easiest and most readable language. There's no surprises, and it's not complicated. Too bad there's almost no libraries out there for it.
