Yes I am confused by this as well. It's a templating language for javascript objects? Isn't javascript a framework/language to create javascript objects? Other then interface with a few APIs (in browser or node.js) it can't do anything else.

If you’re using Javascript or have an embedded JavaScript runtime sure use that.

The 1st party bindings are for C, Go and Python; so it a cross-language JSON DSL. And making it a strict DSL has significant advantages.
