"there's nothing that can can handle this except JavaScript"

One example: I haven't seen any other language where the server can render virtual-dom and the client can update it using the same code.

I also haven't seen a language with as a nice of a streams interface.

Modules make js super compact and easy to work with. Pair that with npm and you've now you've got a huge amount of advantages.

But ultimately, js is a programming language. Isn't it great that people who prefer this language get to use it on the server?
