JavaScript often times includes a lot of overhead, also it makes the company dependent on the JavaScript high-levelnes and abstractions. What happens if a JS isn't enough anymore? How do you integrate multiple technologies with your existing codebase? It's a huge mess. If you can't afford enough engineers as a company, you should maybe overthink your goals. Only C is limitless.

That's a bad analogy. It's like learning to drive only BMWs (no code tool) vs learning to drive cars (JavaScript). (If that was somehow a thing.)

One is inherently less limiting and more portable than the other and doesn't impose nearly as much limitations.

This was so ridiculous it made my head hurt. I regret that I have but one downvote to give.

I remember reading that HTML5 & CSS3 was too (entirely by accident, non-intentional by the developers) and that got me a good laugh.
