This is pretty much exactly the argument made by The Lisp Curse:

That basically every program written in a Lisp becomes its own programming language. It has mechanisms which are vaguely-familiar-but-different from all the other programs. The mechanisms are 80% of a complete solution, but a different 80% each time, depending on the needs of the program.

Anyone can write js.

Some humans can write Lisp. But Lisp production code can only be maintained and updated by AIs who are more intelligent than we are.
