Unfortunately, none of those are cross-platform... Closest we get to something similar to the web is either the JVM or APE (Actually Portable Executable) but then those are generally not as isolated as the alternatives you mentioned, sadly.

Or CLR, or now the fashionable WebAssembly.

Plus, plenty of languages have cross-platform runtimes and libraries, so not a big issue, not everything needs to be JavaScript.
