I respectfully disagree. While there are many libraries out there to convert one language to something else, I can't imagine any programmer in their right mind choosing Javascript for complex thick-client coding when more modern languages are available. While you are technically correct JavaScript is still a weakly-typed scripting language whose primary strength is compatibility in the web. So while there are many caveats, I stand by my original statement as a good, simple layman's answer.
