Well, JavaScript is better at what it does than other scripting languages that have tried to do the same thing (e.g., VBScript) which is why it's the only client-side scripting language that's built into every modern browser.
However, that doesn't necessarily mean it's "better for web design" than every other scripting language. For server-side processing there are (in my opinion) better alternatives.
Pain Killer: JavaScript is most certainly not a superset of Java. Java and JavaScript are very different languages. The similarity of the names was done for marketing reasons, not because of any meaningful connection between the two languages.
What you say?
