JavaScript is a chaos gremlin but it's MY chaos gremlin and I wouldn't change it for the world
Learned multiple languages to contribute to different projects and keep up with the times, but JS remains my favorite, something about it just clicks with how I think. Specifically JS, not TS or another dialect, even if I find them helpful.
