    Most people don’t use JS because they think it’s perfect… they use it because it’s the language that works on web browsers… or because thier coworkers made something in it… or because the library that does what they want uses it…

        JS is the machine code of the web. Fewer and fewer people might write it directly, but it will live as long as the web platform does.
