Answer 6

Daniel Adam when you say “it is not good or bad, it just is” do you mean it is not a well written language and is a well written language at the same time? either way, what are the bad features which cause these runtime errors?

Answer 7

Javascript is a language. It is not good or bad, it just is.
As a runtime language you can do quite a lot easily, but you can easily write errornous code, too. The effects occur at runtime, so you need to know the language very well, as errors are hard to fix.
