I am not sure if this is the right place and time to ask this question, but there is something I really don't understand. You might have guessed what.

Nowadays, there are seemingly more programming languages, frameworks and ways of solving software related problems than values in a 64 bit integer. Additionally, I really don't like working with or reading (about) Javascript. It feels messy, there are a million ways to do anything, yet everything 'feels' wrong.

So why does it seem like everyone is obsessed with the language? Every community, video platform, in-person meetup always has like a 65% focus on Javascript and 35% anything else.

Am I missing some universal truth that will make me love the language? Most other tools I find really interesting and I want to learn more about them, like Go, Rust, various data storage systems, etc.

But out of all things, Javascript seems to rule the world.
