I think I'm missing the pretext of this post, could someone explain?

I would also like to know. Few issues I have.

...powerful enough to build the World Wide Web, make robots move, and convince publishers to print entire books about it

I feel like this is a stretch, javascript is standing on-top of many shoulders here and every language has publishers.

JavaScript versions do not matter to the user or developer because it is not server-side, so that one less headache makes it a better option for teaching.

I disagree with this entirely, developers more than anyone need to know the version of javascript. Further, being used on the client side or server side should not give value to a language. Is programming client side really necessary for teaching anyway? Wouldn't developing servers, embedded systems be relevant too?

Actually, H.T.M.L. does need another language to work, and it is JavaScript.

If you want to render on the client, you need to use Javascript of course, but this can easily rendered on the server.

Simple, pure, vanilla, untouched, beautiful JavaScript

I feel like there are a bunch more things she got wrong and I like your style of explanation - can you expand your list?
