It's just a poorly designed language that teaches the wrong things. Once the things it teaches are learned they are difficult to unlearn. You forget how to do things without JavaScript when you write JavaScript for a while. You forget how to do much of anything that is not JavaScript.

Could you describe one of these "things it teaches"? Is it a concrete concept like ternary operators? Having gone through Excel, VB briefly, and Powershell, Javascript was my first exposure to ternary.
