I find, in your own words, recognition of several reasons JavaScript fails for building complex systems.
"It's possible to write good JS code" implies that it's not easy or obvious, and "it just takes some self-constraint" implies that in fact you have to be damn good to understand what you're doing.
That's fine, but mere mortals need a programming language too. Fact is that most large projects are not made of up entirely A+ developers (nor should they have to be).
