On the one hand, it's not that terrible and most *of* the terrible is from people making silly choices.

On the other hand, there's a reason I regularly get annoyed enough at it to call it nope.js.

On the gripping hand, I mostly write perl, which argues for a different but unique set of masochistic tendencies on my part.

(you just have to remember that what 'perl' *really* stands for is 'Perenially Eclectic Rubbish Lister' and then you will have appropriate expectations and can settle back and have fun ;)
