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.

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

#16Why the heck Javascript?
Some demos such as real time object detection isn't possible at all if you had to pay roundtrip server latency (not to mention the complexity of streaming video to and from your server): https://github.com/ModelDepot/tfjs-yolo-tiny
And a lot of web demos such https://affinelayer.com/pixsrv/ I don't believe will be up for such a long time if the author had to pay ongoing server costs.

Any particular reasons or is this just based on what you heard 10 years ago?
- `this`
- the whole prototypal inheritance thing
- class inheritance bolted on top of prototypal inheritance
- arrow functions vs `function` functions

One very practical reason is to save on computation costs. GPU servers are not cheap and if you're going to run on CPU anyway, you might as well run it locally on the user's browser.

OP has a point, if I want to learn PRACTICAL front end programming, I will choose javascript, not Python. Same for Neural networks, just switch the place.
