Why doesn't Ethereum use Javascript for it's "high level language", since it's easy as hell to write and there are plenty of fast javascript parsers out there?
Good question. I thought about it when saw Vitalik reply about Python. Also JS has more fans than Py.
plus it can be sent over the wire, "packed", "minified", eval'ed at will, etc... no idea why trying to reinvent the wheel

PS: I would greatly benefit from it, since JS is my main coding language
