Javascript is extremely flexible and unopnionated. It is very easy to write horrible code in it and very hard to write good code. The same goes for assembler. But Javascript is still a nice language to compile to, e.g. from Clojurescript (which is a fantastic and very opinionated language). It can run virtually anywhere and modern Javascript engines start up very fast, making them ideal for stuff like AWS lambda and even CLI tools.

To me, the fact we need another language to compile to it, is just another proof the language is broken
