9696
1. __Language__: you like JavaScript.
9797
1. __Simplicity__: you want to minimize language context-switching, reduce build system complexity, and use a smaller stack.
9898
1. __Flexibility__: you want flexibility. With the exception of Python and few others, most languages commonly used for numeric computing are ill-suited for general purpose applications (e.g., MATLAB is never used to provide an authentication service). While specialization can mean better support for specialized syntax and libraries, specialization also correlates with reduced flexibility and fewer use cases.
99-
1. __Parity__: you recognize that other languages, as languages, have no inherent advantage over JavaScript. With few exceptions, the same criticisms leveled against JavaScript as to why the language is not suitable for numeric computing (e.g., single-threaded, lacks native support for big integers, dynamically compiled, etc) is equally applicable to other languages, such as R and Python. That those languages have risen to prominence is more attributable to chance rather than to comparative advantage.

1. __Browsers__: you want to perform numeric computation in a web browser. JavaScript is, and will continue to be, the language of the Web.
101101
1. __Load__: you want to outsource server-side computation to client applications. A numeric compute-enabled client application can analyze data, train models, and generate predictions with shorter latency and lower server costs.
102102
1. __Node.js__: you want to perform numeric computation in a Node.js application. Node.js is now regularly used by over [98%][node-fortune-500] of Fortune 500 companies (with accelerating industry adoption) and is well-suited for a wide range of applications (including numeric computing) due to its performance and flexibility.
