Significant white space would have been a disaster on the web.

As much as everyone poops on js it is a very forgiving language for embedding.

JS is fine for scripting, sprinkling a bit of interactivity on a page. The issue is when you want to create whole software out of it, and the last thing you want is forgiveness. You want the compiler and linter complaining loudly.
