I'm disappointed that "programming for Vaunt will involve JavaScript". We're stuck with this horribly designed language on the web because browsers don't run anything else (natively), and there is a strong trend in the field to replace it, either with compilation of saner languages to JS or with WebAssembly. We don't need to infect another nascent market with this atrocity, let it die.

- andrewmcwatters 9y agoLua is a much better embedded language.
- SquareWheel 9y agoWebAssembly has no intention of replacing JavaScript. Nor should it.
- seangrogg 9y agoThe entire existing JS ecosystem can be leveraged for Vaunt, to include TypeScript/Flow/whatever else. They are target agnostic.
- xab9 9y agoJust get over it. Either JS will kill every other language or webassembly will save us. Place your bets.
