Well, you don't write assembly because it's not pleasant to write in. JavaScript is actually quite high-level by comparison, so you can write in it, and many people do.

You don't need to look at generated JS either. If the tooling sucks then you do, but that is only because we live in early days, and the tooling isn't quite there yet.
> JS is not the "assembly of the web". It's a high level language. Your comparison is idiotic.
It is a high-level language! But it is also a good compiler target, and contains a low-level language (asm.js) which is also a good compiler target.

It's not a poor comparison.
