They say JavaScript should be your first programming language: it may not be up to the standards of stuffy uppity neckbeards, but it does the thing it set out to do with some passion behind it. In this regard, it's like Esperanto: studies show that learning Esperanto cuts the time you need to learn a real language by a lot (just Wikipedia "Esperanto" for sources).
