To expand on what parent said, pretty much all modern computer languages are equivalent to Turing machines (Turing complete). This includes Javascript, Java, Ruby, PHP, C, etc. If I understand Solomonoff induction properly, testing all possible hypothesis implies generating all possible programs in say Javascript and testing them to see which program’s output match our observations. If multiple programs match the output, we should chose the smallest one.

Correct. It is just harder to exhaustively generate JS, and again harder to judge simplicity.
