Well at least Eth lets us write in a variant of JS. JS is amazing. Basically impossible to write buggy code in it.

Solidity is not a "variant of JS".

It's a variant of JS in that it uses curly brace syntax, but that's pretty much all it has in common with JS. It's statically typed, class-based, and all numbers are integers.

What features of JavaScript prevent you from writing buggy code?
