I don't think it's about missing features. JavaScript has a lot of footguns. You admit that, but dismiss the complaints. Sure, with experience you know what to ignore, but a well-designed language has fewer of those areas in the first place.

I've used JS enough to find that it's more like a nuclear powered .50 cal Gatling gun.
