Too many man hours into optimizing Javascript. I doubt it.
I think a realistic alternative will be transpilers. Say coding Clojure, Scala, etc.. and then it convert down to javascript.
Also from what I've seen so far Mozilla really love javascript. It continues to push forward with no real alternative. Also the creator of Javascript is working with them.
I love Mozilla but I wish they tackle on an alternative javascript, they're too busy with the wonderful looking Rust though. I can't blame them.
- watson 10y agoThe creator of JavaScript stopped working there a few years ago. Now started a new browser company called Brave. The Brave browser is written entirely in JavaScript by the way
- bobbytherobot 10y agoI seem to vaguely recall there was a few years were Mozilla was shipping Python as an alternative to JavaScript. I want to say that HTML5 was what killed Python in Mozilla. HTML5 gained huge traction that Python never got. If someone remembers more clearly, please correct my cloudy memory.
