Usual suspects that many people who hate JS seem to champion are are python, lua, ruby.

I love Lua personally, but it has its own traps too. Never could get into Python too much, the indentation syntax is killing me :P

I hate JS with a passion (I worked with it professionally for years, and wrote crypto and compression algorithms, as well as an entire web browser sandbox), but my refuge is in static languages.

I no longer see dynamic languages useful for more than bash-like scripting where correctness is uninteresting. :/
