:O
This is a game changer for me. I could use Python, but I'm a full time JavaScript developer and I'm just not the biggest fan of Python in the world. But if I could script in Gimp using JavaScript... that'd be sick!
- iso8859-1 6y agoA lot of GNOME is written in JavaScript now, this is just GIMP catching up to that ecosystem.
- pjmlp 6y agoWhich is why I eventually switched to XFCE. GJS use is quite noticeable.
- jamesgeck0 6y agoIIRC, the optimization benchmarks Canonical did have indicated that JS hasn't been the issue in most of the Gnome performance issues they've worked on.

- kzrdude 6y agoTook a decade to get there. Yes, some of us didn't follow gnome through this time.
- ldng 6y agoPerformance as in CPU usage or memory usage or both ?
- xvilka 6y agoI hope they will get rid of it eventually like they got rid of C#/Mono applications.
- xvilka 6y agoNever understood why do they need Vala in 2020? They could have focused on improving Rust integration and writing some applications in it.
