I believe the amount of hate and mockery Javascript receives is heavily skewed, simply because almost every programmer who is active today has at least some experience with the language, and with more users there are also more people capable of complaining about it.
I work with languages that are much worse than Javascript, yet they don't receive nearly as much hate because hardly anyone uses them.

Imo, both methods should set the same value for x. That's madness. 🤪 Just look at awk for example. There's a dedicated substr() and it doesn't care about spaces. But then awk is quite loose in everything... and niche... But I love it.
