There are many languages that are very popular for prototyping and learning what makes JavaScript the best?

Why not? It's one of the most widely known languages among developers in many disciplines, which removes a barrier to learning the concepts. Someone who just wants to familiarize themselves with basic implementations could do so in any language if their goal doesn't include shipping production-quality code. There's also the added bonus that the concepts taught here are already covered by courses in other languages, so anyone is free to use those as well.

It really, really super isn’t. It’s a Frankenstein mashup of programming insanity that never should have come into being in the first place, much less become the de facto language of the web.

Why not? It's extremely popular, fast and portable.
