Based on this, the second reason is because the Vorlons are one of the wisest and ancient race of the universe and thus, they are helpful as diplomats between younger races. What? No. That's not how the Vorlons worked at all . Also, Javascript is basically the Shadows (mordon.js lol). Wonder what langauges/frameworks map onto other Babylon 5 concepts? Angular -> Earth Alliance? Enterprisey but not super elegant, and…

Anyone know what sort of auth or security provisions are involved? It seems great for developers, but if I were a user, I would worry about giving someone a remote session at my browser's javascript console.

I'm sure that's the intended state of affairs. But there's a difference -- at once psychological and technical -- between "trusting someone else's application code" and "letting their developers have remote debugging access to your machine."
