I mean, yes, Javascript isn't x86 assembly code, but neither is Lua. Sure, Javascript was designed to be embedded within other applications, but so was Lua. And neither _has_ to be. People seem to be using "native" to mean "lightweight" or "performant," but if that's what they mean, they should just use those words.

Js isn't native. It's not c it's not c++, it's not Java or even fucking python.

It's a webscripting language. Which is totally fine but it will never be native.
