That is true, but the concept is still around - that you can write
your code in some other language and compile to js. Personally, I'd
rather just write my js directly, and use Python to write Python code,
but I'm sufficiently multilingual to be able to do that. If you know
only 1-2 languages, there's (short-term) benefit in using them for
more tasks.
