Removing protective padding and helmets might help in American Football. Rugby doesn't use them and it's actually a safer sport.

But apart from that: the guy is wrong of course! Working in JavaScript still drives me crazy because I don't have decent autocomplete and no IDE warnings I'm using an API wrong.

It's worth checking out Visual studio code. It is a fairly advanced JavaScript IDE in my experience. Using it with TypeScript is amazing if you're willing to put up with the overhead of compiling to JavaScript (though you can run TypeScript without a compile step in the server using node-ts). These tools make JavaScript a lot nicer for me, and actually pretty enjoyable!
