I didn't understand that either. MongoDB works very well with many other languages; just recently I was using it with Python, and the driver and API work very well. I guess since MongoDB stores data in BSON, which is the binary version of JSON, the javascript object format, the author decided that JS is closest in spirit to Mongo.
- andypants 14y agoThe mongodb shell uses javascript, and stored functions and map/reduce functions and more all use javascript. So if you use mongodb, you'll be using quite a bit of javascript anyways.
