Why is Claude Code, a desktop tool, written in JS? Is the future of all software JS or Typescript?

It's not a desktop tool, it's a CLI tool.
But a lot of desktop tools are written in JS because it's easy to create multi-platform applications.
Alternatively: why not?
LLMs are good in JS and Python which means everything from now on will be written in or ported to either of those two languages. So yeah, JS is the future of all software.
Because it's the most popular programming language in the world?
I am happy you woke up from your 10 year coma.
