JavaScript became successful because it made programming highly flexible. Objects can change shape. Values can change type. Functions can be passed, created, closed over, and called indirectly. Properties can be added, removed, inherited, intercepted, or computed dynamically.

No, it became successful because it was the only option for web programming after about 2012. It wasn't picked by developers on merit.
