You could say the Taliban are probably a very popular government based on the amount they have been searched for in the last few months, but does that mean they are any good?
Personally I think JavaScript is slowly catching up*, and not quite as bad as it was a few years ago. And that's probably the best I can say about it, but I'd far sooner reach for Python for many projects (or Go or Rust) although I guess JS is still king for front end? (which I have very little to do with TBH).
* we've moved away from the Taliban analogy at this point.
