IMO, no. It has too much ceremony to demonstrate concepts. It's for absolute beginners.

Eloquent Javascript is a good book now that I know more about Javascript, but please NEVER EVER recommend it as the first book for an absolute beginner.
With 20/20 hindsight, what I wish I had done is read through or watch one or two courses without any pressure, just get familiar with the topic, and don’t worry if I don’t understand things.
things start clicking into place after you’re exposed to this stuff a few times. My mistake was that I wanted to understand everything and didn’t want to skip ahead if I didn’t.
I mean, that's totally correct, but that's paragraph 7. It's way too abstract for a beginner to understand - and usually, if a beginner is getting lost in the first few pages, they're unlikely to make progress in the book (even though they probably could in this case, by skipping ahead a bit).
I am now about a year and a half of being deeper into the language, and I have finally picked the book back up again.
