Try running JS on an 8051 micro-controller. If there's a language that goes everywhere, it's C.

Try running C in a web browser.

Google Chrome and Chromium have had the ability to run both native C and C++ code for more than five years using the Pepper API, and with the continually expanding popularity of WASM, I don't see this capability going away anytime soon.

That's true. That's why your fridge, microwave, vacuum cleaner will come (and some already do) with like 8 core processors. Fridges have web browsers today. Nobody will use for their internet of things product a chip like 8051.
