How JavaScript dominated the web:
Its literally our only option, otherwise it would've been replaced decades ago.

But it's changing today. Vanilla JS is not the only option anymore.
We now have TypeScript, Dart, Kotlin and some other languages which "compile" into vanilla JS. Google even tried to get Dart into Chromium but didn't succeed. But it is already possible to use another language than JS and don't care about the final (generated) JS code.
