Remember how the White House published that document on memory safe languages? I think it’s time they go one step further and ban new development in JavaScript. Horrible language horrible ecosystem and horrible vulns.

Supply chain attacks aren't exclusive to JS just like malware isn't exclusive to Windows, it's just that JS/Windows is more popular and widespread. Kill JS and you will get supply chain attacks on the next most popular language with package managers. Kill Windows and you will get a flood of Linux/MacOS malware.
