Honestly, maybe it's a good thing I haven't learned Javascript, it's incredibly broken and filled with unneeded features, or so I've heard anyway.

Regarding Lua, I think we can both agree it's immensely underrated, look at all the cool things you can do with tables and metatables! Oh and uh, coroutines are there too.

We don't talk about coroutines, they scare me.

I do really need to learn them though, they can be immensely useful for a lot of different things.

I think I may have hated Python because of the immense amount of libraries it had, and I had no idea which ones were the best to use.

Not sure, but I remember a lot of frustration.

JS the language has a few 'wat.' moments, but overall, people don't complain about JS because of the language, they complain because of the ecosystem.

As an ex-JS hater, give it a try! It gets a bad rep, but that's mostly from people who either don't form their own opinions because they don't have a lot of experience programming, or people who form their own opinions because they have too much experience programming. In the middle is a easy to write language with an enormous ecosystem that is so portable you can run it on any refrigerator that comes with Chrome! (oh, right, that might be one of the bad things)
