I am happy you woke up from your 10 year coma.
It's not a desktop tool, it's a CLI tool.
But a lot of desktop tools are written in JS because it's easy to create multi-platform applications.
Because it's the most popular programming language in the world?
LLMs are good in JS and Python which means everything from now on will be written in or ported to either of those two languages. So yeah, JS is the future of all software.
