No. I want my code to run locally sometimes (possibly with a GPU), and sometimes I run the same code across hundreds of EC2 instances or just 1 instance, and I have good reasons for that. Sometimes a machine doesn't have a GPU, but I still want that code to run on it.

The "bad thing" is imagining you know every possible use of javascript, and then telling other people about how they should be running javascript (or any language).
