Javascript isn't used ONLY in web development.. you're in D2JSP... which... stands for Diablo 2 javascript parser... a bot for d2jsp written in javascript.
edit: well... not written in javascript... it was a javascript engine written in a language i'm not sure about... but... it'd execute javascript in the context of D2 instead of the way it's most commonly used... executing scripts in the context of a webpage.
You're wrong here, unless you like being inefficient and incorrectly using a language.
The "bot" was written with an early form of the SpiderMonkey JS Engine, you were mostly right there.
However, Javascript (to my knowledge) has never been used in any serious stand-alone applications, and has been expanding into the server side of web applications now, notably with Node.js
