To be fair, js interpreters are available out of the box in all digital devices out there that embed a browser. That's a huge deal, as far as portability is concerned.

That said you do have things like https://opalrb.com/

God forbid we reuse knowledge instead of drudging lives through never ending learning of same concepts with different syntax’s and 10x costs for supporting every special native snowflake toolchain.

If that's the goal, the problem itself has been re-implemented by the Javascript ecosystem.

That’s why you use a language where the build tool of choice changes every month?

And of course the right way to do that is to take an extremely mediocre, rushed, incomplete language that is currently constrained to the browser, and make it run everywhere else, ironically having to reinvent many wheels and re-learn very old lessons the hard way along the way. Mission "reuse knowledge" is a hearty failure in node.js-land.
