90% of the toolchain is not required at all. Just quality of life improvements.
Good ES6 (and TS) idiomatic code feels actually closer to reading Scala than reading a legacy Jquery app.
And the V8 engine has so much investment in optimizations today that is actually closer to Java and in some cases lighter than Go.
IMHO people don't hate JS in reality. They hate the strawman made of the worst parts of Junior code ever encountered and inconsistencies that really don't happen in practice unless you actively look for them.
