That is down to who has the most funding. Javascript itself has even more "support, completeness and maturity" than Scalajs. But obviously that's not the deciding factor.
- premium-concern 10y agoScala.js was largely done by a single student on top of his other university duties. I think it's mostly down to determination. Some things are hard, but need to be done. Haskell people just seem to give up more easily - see all the half-working projects. Nobody finishes stuff, the next dev just starts his own new project, and abandons it later. Scala.js handily beats JavaScript in terms of IDE support and tooling
- willtim 10y agoA quick Google suggests Scalajs has had developers paid to work on it (EPFL lab and Lightbend): http://scala-lang.org/blog/2016/03/14/announcing-the-scala-center.html http://scala-lang.org/blog/2016/03/14/announcing-the-scala-c... The Haskell community has achieved great things even though most contributions are done in people's spare time. That is determination.
- premium-concern 10y agoThat's nonsense. I think it's great that outside contributions (like allowing the use of the Scala's CI infrastructure) are valued, but the actual commits show a clear picture. There is no determination in failing to get anything done and doing NIH for a decade.
