So don't use it

I have to use it. There no other way. Please don't tell me coffee script/typescript, future script. Also, I feel tired, fatigue I will say, every 2 month there a new way of doing stuff. And you know how difficult is to grab a junior and explain that now react is the shit and not more angular?

Also, do you know how difficult is for the company to hire people and we have to tell them: "we are a bored company, we just use jquery, rails and ajax."

I do not have anything with the language. Is becoming better, but I really hate the noise, the billions of libraries, and every two month the `correct way of doing stuff`

end of rant :)

Tons of software is not web software and does not use JavaScript. You can be happily employed as a programmer and never touch JS.

I have to add this:

As a Junior developer, JavaScript scares the shit out of me. I have been trying to find some basic JavaScript testing framework so we could test if we broke anything when we commit some code changes, and as soon as I tried building PhantomJS/CasperJS (I had to do that on the spare server because compiling them on my machine takes hours), it scared the hell out of me.

Have you looked at Karma?

Why not? You are already doing a build step for Babel mostly likely. Might as well do ClojureScript, which has simple syntax and one tool that does it all.
