If JavaScript is interpreted exactly the same way by all interpreters and executes predictably in every browser, maybe.

Procedural languages don't conceal data in classes that only the class' own functions can access and manipulate. With C, you can personally debug and correct any function that you write to manipulate the data. In an OO language, you might have to code an entire custom class that reimplements most of another class' functionality from scratch just to work around a bug (child classes can't access the parent's private data). With a procedural language, you can get away with replacing or adding only the one function that's broken or missing.
