All languages wrap libc's API with their own primitives: C wraps
unistd's write() within printf() and fwrite() and even unistd's write()
and seek() are wrappers for kernel's pwrite(). This even more true for
higher level languages.

I tend to consider Javascript as a junk language, but my opinion on it is not well educated. It might be good for what it was designed for.
