When developing low-level or systems software, there are many programming languages to choose from, but C and C++ continue to be often-chosen. When developing software to run natively in all browsers, there's one choice: JavaScript. So the comparison isn't fair. C/C++ had to prove themselves among many competitors. JavaScript "won" by default, not because it's somehow the best choice. I'm glad to see other options like Dart and PNaCl coming along. It's about time.
