This is more of a rant against dynamically typed languages than against javascript itself, and making the argument that dynamically typed languages are not suitable for large web apps is a difficult (not impossible) one to make. The author also complains about some javascript projects being split up into enough files, which is hardly a side-effect of using javascript. The author inherited what sounds like a pretty disorganized javascript application and is using it as their real world example for why javascript shouldn't be used to write large web apps. In fact, almost everything in the post is anecdotal or subjective.
