It is an interesting example of how a camel is a horse designed by committee.

And basically the reason we have JS is because we can't agree on anything else. So JS is what we've got.

But you should take JS seriously, because it's what we've got. It's not going anywhere. And it powers the Internet. And for right now the Internet is the end all, be all, technology.

An alternative has already been agreed upon and may be the future of front end web development. It's called WebAssembly.
