Not kidding. There's no rule against that though. It's good at it's niche.
Does that not put JS (node) back on the table?
I'd say it's the low level language doing the heavy lifting, python or JS in this scenario are just front-ends.
Hell, I think FORTH has C bindings, that's not power, that's mental illness
Sure, but there are good and bad frontends. JavaScript has a tendency to silently fly off the handle in mysterious ways due to the crazy type system. Python will typically fail more predictably, and is famously easy to write. I know nothing about FORTH, honestly.
Dw, no one does.
