Scala is a perfect example of an overly complex bloated mess with so many foot-guns I can't even begin to count them.

EDIT: I never said JS shouldn't evolve! JavaScript has evolved a ton! From better handling of asynchronous control-flow with promises and then async/await, to destructing, spreads, constant assignments, Map/Set objects, a number of other improvements I can't even begin to list. But none of these changes fundamentally changed JavaScript from being a dynamic weakly typed language.
