Python is a C core that takes Python code and spits out bytecode to interpret and run said Python. What esbuild is doing is not much different than any other interpreted language.
(p.s. JS is not compiled)
- yepthatsreality 6y agoIt's not much different but yet it needs a solution built in another language to "build" it. I understand the process is not much different from other scripted languages but I find it funny that JS cannot reasonably do this itself. (p.s. I'm aware)
- root_axis 6y agoWell, it's wrong to say that it "can't reasonably do this itself" since JS building itself is actually the status quo and has been for years, this particular solution is just a new take with an aim for improved performance.
- yepthatsreality 6y agoAnd they didn't choose JS to do it is the cherry on top.
