Maybe PHP is a shitty language if you're coming from a CS background but Javascript is absolutely not better at "looking to take a student with one CS course under their belt and give them some instant joy". It's FAR more complex than PHP

I won't argue about the complexity and I'm not a fan of JS either... but surely you can agree that firing a browser console and do live dom manipulations can bring instant joy ?

Yeah, I even demonstrated this hacking tool to a friend to show I could (temporarily) change the content of any website
