JS is the one that's built into the browser. If JS wasn't built into the browser, it would go onto the trashbin of bad old languages that only survived because of their platform like VBA and ActionScript and .bat batch scripting. You can't compare JS to any other language because JS is the one you don't get a choice on.

I've heard it said that the longer you work with JavaScript, the more you hate it. I'm not gonna lie, I really miss working on ASP.Net Core backends. Switching from that to NodeJS was a huge downgrade.

Fine but whatever you think about js, dynamic languages have certain advantages, and trying to turn it into another java or c# is a stupid endeavor. You're not "fixing" javascript by making it more like java.
