The touchscreen controls and displays in SpaceX crew capsules are web based. So JavaScript is going to space pretty often.
ok, but a real spacefaring organisation though? One that isn't run by a fucking idiot?
SpaceX is quite "real". No other company is even close to it's tech, low cost, and launch cadence. It's because it's run by Gwynne Shotwell, the President of SpaceX, who is skilled at keeping Musk away from ruining it.
Using modern tech with its associated crappy software lifecycle to save cost is a heavy gamble, however. Instead of breaking Reddit for a couple of hours, they can't fire their RCS thrusters to avoid collision with space junk because some stupid NPE that was missed in the QA process that no longer exists because that team was replaced with AI.
