It is a low level language, it is blazingly fast and powerful if you use it correctly.

It is also badly designed and disliked as far as I can tell just about universally in every aspect as a language. Objective C is also blazingly fast and powerful if you use it correctly but not everyone wants to. It isn't about not knowing it has access to bitwise operators.

JS is not really a low level language in any sense.
