Recently I have been thinking about why `JavaScript` with it's horrible type system and lots of edge cases has supported so many platform and is very fast ...
First answer is simple, because big companies such as Google, Facebook and so on evolve this language and run-time for it ...

Check out PyPy.  It is every bit as fast as the fastest Javascript engines like V8.
