If you spend time studying the thing it will not be as weird as you think.
Been developing software for years now and I have never been bitten by the quirks.
Buuuut if you would like to use some alternatives that transpile to it there are many :) i can't do anything against preference, to some JS is beautiful and to others it is an abomination -
@Alice So there are developers that actually understand and knows all the weird behaviours of Javascript? Maybe with time, I would get used to them too.

yes, it started off very shitty.
but it got a lot less shitty with tools like eslint, babel. Literally, I don't touch js code if it doesn't have eslint. It made me unhate js. -
@fibbz I'm planning to learn either Ruby or Java soon. but python does not seem weird when I was coding python.

@jesustricks This sounds like good advice.. 'DON'T TOUCH THAT JS, IF IT DOESNT HAVE ESLINT!'
