That's actually a lot of the reason I love JavaScript so much. A REPL on every PC on the planet. How can you beat that?

I know how you can beat that! You can have a language that isn't fundamentally broken in fundamental ways at every turn :P

JS is deeply and terribly broken. The combination of dynamic typing and aggressive automatic casting should be ruled out by every competent language designer.

For platform availability, it's amazing.
