I really can't say about its usecase for other languages outside Javascript. But then in the context of javascript, i will give you a good example where you can best use it on the web. For example, when trying to handle a client side searching/sorting.... then rather than imperatively handling such operation its better to use the "filter prototype"(a declarative approach) because then the performance which you worry about is already considered by javascript to some extent.
