Every programming language has it's place.

JavaScript's place is in hell.

I used to think Javascript was hell when I barely used it. Now I have to build with it regularly and... once in a while I'm just right about things.

Ever wanted to be somewhere inbetween java and JavaScript?

Yeah, that's Groovy. Only it's the wrong groove

What makes JavaScript so widely disliked? I know very little of it, and in skimming different stuff I think I've seen like a million different frameworks for it, so is that a part of it?

It was mostly made for simple scripts to embed on a website for animations and handling updates without refreshing whole page. Not to make a full portable client (browser) side app.
Hating JavaScript is mostly a meme, it's just a programming language. But its very loose syntax, fact it's often someone's first programming language to learn and how most programs written in it nowadays are a hack build on top of a hack on top a hack makes this language easy to laugh at.
