Just have a look at the native code world running on our desktops and servers. It is fragmented along language lines. Every language has their own set of libraries with massive duplication across the board. Calls across languages (i.e. Python calling C++ code) is painful and requires tons of bindings code and marshalling between data formats. It is a mess and a big part of the reason why many have moved away from native code to environments like the JVM, .Net CLR and yes, the browser and JavaScript itself.
