I cannot understand the idea of using JavaScript that compiles into "native code".

At what point do JavaScript developers need to realise that this is all convoluted, and begin to use languages better suited for the job.

You want something that can compile into a binary with multiple architectures, multithreading, types, etc? Please use a different language that's built from the ground up to achieve that.

You want something that was designed to add some sugar onto a website? Then yes JavaScript is probably best there.

Not everything needs to be written in this one language that's not designed for it. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
