Attempt to give a serious answer: Javascript, as a language, has some bizarre return types that can make the kind of thorough testing required in spaceflight difficult. (See: https://github.com/denysdovhan/wtfjs https://github.com/denysdovhan/wtfjs) It also has a reputation, like PHP, as being utilized by inexperienced programmers who write poorly structured, poorly test, bloated, and slow code that often crashes and fails. If you want fast, light weight, reliable, well structured, testable, and ultimately very stable code Javascript would seem to be a poor choice within the parameters required for a space vehicle.
(Maybe this is a good place to ask, anyone have a recommendation for static testing of JS?)
