It is wildly flexible, aligned with how programming is taught, and infinitely documented.
It is the swiss army knife of programming. Even top-tier hackers use it as a primary tool. Check out Frida[1], it uses the Chrome v8 engine to inject parasitic tracing code written in JavaScript into any OS (incl. android & ios). There's no language that would have fit the bill like JS+v8.

- goatlover 5y agoIsn’t V8 written in C++? There’s no reason Python can’t be as much a Swiss Army knife, except that it doesn’t run in the browser, which was just a historical matter that it was JS and not some other language. Tcl was proposed, and Sun tried to get Netscape to run Java natively.
