I don’t work with web stuff, why is js so weird? Can you write a website in other languages, like c# or python?

I guess why it's weird because of the loose rules it follows, like what is mentioned about === and ==. There is WebAssembly which kinda acts like Javabyte code or CIL there used to be huge hype that it's going to replace JavaScript, though it's not used that much today. I think why there is low adoption is mainly because JavaScript is good enough, it's widespread and easy to learn.
