Java and JavaScript are not that different. We used to have a security testing engine that was written in Java and transpiled into JavaScript with our own compiler. It works and it was OK in the days when static typing was one of those things that were missing from modern JavaScript. We do not do this any more. Everything is JavaScript these days.
