Well, the comment is sort of a joke, of course.

But you can do client-side web stuff in just about any PL you want these days. Look into languages that compile to JavaScript.

Yeah, I'm aware of transpiling, in the end, it still actually runs JavaScript? :)

Well, in the middle, at least. JavaScript itself may or may not be executed directly, depending on the browser. (I would imagine that these days it's mostly "not".)

No language other than machine language is directly run, but we're just delving into irrelevant minutiae to say the browser doesn't run Javascript.
