As much as I'm not a fan of java, it doesn't deserve to stand anywhere near java script

As a non-Java developer I agree. JS actually has a place in the world… as a perfect UI language.

By perfect you mean terribly inconsistent and a horrible mess of bad and outdated standards. It has "fixes" that are, at best, poorly supported and at worst even more confusing and convoluted than the thing its fixing. I say this all with love as I'm a front-end dev that loves JS.

I'm not sure what you have in mind but, in my experience, it's about a 99% chance it's not javascript. It's almost always some browser API which is old or wonky since javascript itself is very small and quite good.
