How can someone enjoy javascript ? Even closures are not done right and now they added classes. Just what we need sigh

I agree, classes are silly in JavaScript. It just masks the prototype and creates ambiguity; using the prototype effectively is part of being a good JavaScript developer.

I understand the hate and everything but honestly I think it presents a fun and refreshing way of solving problems.

Also npm is pretty awesome, aside from how massive the node_modules folder gets.
