JavaScript is actually really nice as a beginner programming language because of how quickly and visually you can see your results, and how easily you can debug with console output. Yeah it's horribly unoptimized but it's not for big things. It's for little things. It's baby's first programming language.
It actually is pretty quick. Dont sleep on JavaScript capabilities. However, it is untyped. You wouldn’t want the date you wrote your check to become the amount of your check, for example.
TypeScript does a nice job there but all in all at that point might as well go all in on a typed language.
