I wouldn’t call “animating a piece of text” on a HTML page as “web development. 16 bit home computers could do this better 10 years before JS.

  The crucial distinguishing factor is that JS was made to animate a bit of text... on every device in existence, past present or future. That's the biggest difference between the web and native.

    The "every device in existence" fails with node, at example, which has a different standard library, and every browser support libraries and even syntax differently (which is why we backport stuff with tools like babel)
