I didn't say anything about using JS as the alternative. I happen to think it's a rather poor language and that using it for anything other than running front-end code on a web site until we have better alternatives is usually a mistake. But there are a lot more languages out there than C, C++ and JS, and I don't think any of those is a particularly good choice for this sort of task.

I'm biased towards OCaml myself since it has nice syntax but there's plenty of options to choose from. I'm just pointing to C/C++ languages since they're the most mature and widely available in terms of documentation, IDEs, etc.
