Why language has to best javascript in all these points? What's the point? Why should I want to write procedural, object oriented or functional code in the same language?
Why not choose a language that fits a task at hand instead of being "quite good" or maybe "not that bad" and "rather well known"?
Javascript for everything is at the same level of moronism (and subset of) webtech for everything. It just does not make any sense.
Well I think in this case the language does fit the task at hand, since the language choice is one of communication (communicating concepts), it's probably a wise choice to go with a ubiquitous one to achieve the goal of delivering a message to the widest possible audience with the least friction possible.
I don't know if English is better or worse than Lithuanian, but none of that probably factored into your decision to speak English here rather than your mother tongue. Like many of the other non-English speakers I see on HN, I don't assume you are saying English is a superior language, rather I assume it is that you see as English is the lingua-fanca of the world currently, you want to lower barriers to understanding your concepts and communicate to the widest audience possible. If that is why they chose JavaScript, then to me, that's a rational choice.
