JavaScript is bad. AWFUL. If you don't believe me, pick up any book, watch any video, read any tutorial on learning JavaScript and wade through the intro that apologizes for all the bad parts of JS. Even one of the most recommended books for learning JS clarifies that it's about "the good parts."
Unfortunately, as they say "it's the language of the internet." Eventually, we all come in contact with it, whether we want to or not. I'm just making this post to link to all the resources I find that help make sense of the world's most prevalent and terrible language.
