OK, make sense, but there are also claw clones that are in Rust (and self modifying).

Also python ones would also allow self modifying. I'm always puzzled (and worried) when JS is used outside of browsers.

I'm biased as I find JS/TS rather ugly language compared to anything other basically (PHP is close second). Python is clean, C has performance, Rust is clean and has performance, Java has the biggest library and can run anywhere.
