Yup, and that really was what the tweet was trying to portrait. JavaScript, and many scripting (or maybe author meant interpreted languages), are incredible languages to start with.

I have a love for the "sharper" langs like Rust, and AssemblyScript, however the ease of use, hyper backwards compatible, super super accessible package manager, and OSS Ecosystem for JavaScript are what make it world-eating. Plus its only 7-11% slower then C++ execution (last I checked).
