> but it was easy to use

I disagree. I've found Javascript to be quite complicated.

However, I agree with your takes that:

1. It's highly accessible - yes, you can learn a single language and get away with only knowing that language for a good chunk of your career nowadays.

2. It does involve fairly immediate feedback (somewhat akin to Python in that regard), because it's interpreted. Given that it's also visual, and a strong majority of people equate the internet to solely what you see in a browser, it's a pretty gratifying experience (even if, later in your career, you avoid it like the plague).
