Supported as in “you can install an interpreter on most machines”: yes
But for JS it’s already there. You can just write a program, upload it someone, send someone a link and it runs. And it’s even sandboxed.
(Although thanks to webassembly, that will be true for many more languages as well, so maybe my argument is void)
