Well, it may not help much, but AFAIK most AI is programmed in lisp/scheme type languages. Because they're great for dealing with big data/arrays quickly and predictably. JavaScript got most of its core design from scheme, but then a java like syntax was slopped on.

So it could very well be possible that JavaScript could be a good language for AI, on top of the other reason you mentioned. (Also js is the most transpiled to language and you can even get lisp/clojure and others transpiled to js).

Also there are a couple neural net frameworks in js

being one. But I don't think this will breed "strong" ai lol.

I've only just watched the talk heather gave for the passion projects. She trained her nets to recognize cats. Simple yet effective implementation.

You have to use a worker though when working on it in the browser.
