Because JavaScript is not a native language.

- cwyers 6y agoI mean, yes, Javascript isn't x86 assembly code, but neither is Lua. Sure, Javascript was designed to be embedded within other applications, but so was Lua. And neither _has_ to be. People seem to be using "native" to mean "lightweight" or "performant," but if that's what they mean, they should just use those words.
- paulie_a 6y agoJs isn't native. It's not c it's not c++, it's not Java or even fucking python. It's a webscripting language. Which is totally fine but it will never be native.
