JavaScript syntax are so bad that even IDE is useless for such language

Actually it is dynamically typed, so IDEs can't do much. If you want that kind of support then check out Typescript

@rookiepatty That assigning function to a variable is done by scala too. Functions are first class citizens in a lot of languages

I guess most people tend to diss duck typed languages and forgets to embrace their freedom. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck! It can't be simpler than that.

@rookiepatty its not exactly passing a function, specifically its a code block, even c and c++ has this feature its how functional programming is done. Even in assembly language you can do this (though there's no functions in assembly line language) but you can create a similar effect
Oh and if I'm not mistaken java 8 just added support for this

with Elm-Lang you get imutable js. Elm a haskel style strongly typed language that compiles to html css javascript. It has one of the best and friendliest compiler so that your javascript just works predictably.
