I'm at a bit of a loss as to why intermediary languages are being used instead of the original language they are modeled after. I figured with the simple availability of V8, JS would have been easier to implement over building a unique compiler/interpreter for Solidity.
What am I missing?

Maybe there's a critical piece of the puzzle I'm missing? I'm still very new to Ethereum.
I hope this helps
For larger amounts, or if many people are doing it in a way that alliances with miners can be created,(i.e. many-to-a-gambling-service) miners may drop blocks, when the outcome of the random value does not suit their clients.("miner collusion") This would affect the probabilities. Commiting to random values
H(R)
and later releasing them, or using a RANDAO(that page needs some improvement..) to have other people do that for you, can make such collusion much more expensive. Instead of losing just a block reward, the RANDAO can be programmed to lose more value than that.
