The point I take home from the article is that every popular language became popular for a reason. None of those reasons where good design or the presence of libraries.
Javascript because it's the only language that runs in a browser. Java and C# because they have corporate backings. Ruby because of Ruby on Rails. It's maybe an over-simplification of the real contributing factors (we forget education and learning curve), but would JavaScript be as popular when there would be more languages available in a web browser?
