I can't say that Javascript is the most fun language to use, but I think that's because given the way it's positioned, it has a bit of a hoarding problem. It's picked up the millenial issue that the stupid things you said in your teens are never ever going away, because they are permanently spread through the internet. Fun.

The amount of "Bad Things" does make stumbling hazards, which is why I'm completely convinced that if you can, you should use a saner language, but there's no <script type="python"> (yet?). In those cases, we need to fence off the trash, put up warning signs on the exposed wiring, tape a post it note to "v instanceof Array" and try to write the sanest javascript we can.
