The usage of the word "ideal" in the 2021 post was probably not ideal :)

The accessibility and diverse ecosystem of JavaScript, owing to its status as the lingua franca of software development, would probably be the basis for it being "ideal". I think it would be hard to make an objective claim that one programming language is strictly better than another as a programming language for mathematical ideas.
