>mostly javascript

Well, javascript does not have some of the features that other dynamic programming languages have, that help you manage complexity and create successful projects of large size.

Strong typing, powerful package and namespacing facilities, a good object oriented system (if you want to do OOP, that is), interactive development with a REPL that can tell you easily which function calls which others, etc.

What's wrong with Javascript's module and OOP systems?

AFAIK JS doesn't really have modules, just ad-hoc use of functions and objects for namespacing
