You can bash the Javascript language all you want, but don't come for its performance lol. Nodejs was very fast across the board when it came out, and still beats most scripting languages. Even some bigger runtimes in IO.
I kinda agree with your first point, but AI assistance is so incredibly powerful that it's foolish not to use it, unless you're working on some really important logic. And even then, having an AI skim for common mistakes, inaccuracies or inefficiencies is still very valuable.
