It is not practical for me personally even if it is perfect for 2 reasons: 1) Unless it comes with completely ported VCL I do not see how it would be useful.

It is not practical for me personally even if it is perfect for 2 reasons:
1) Unless it comes with completely ported VCL I do not see how it would be useful.
2) Doing it for the language's sake - I am not a language zealot and am fine to use whatever suits me better for particular situation. JS as front end for my servers works fine for me. For example even though Delphi / Lazarus is fine for developing servers I prefer doing it in C++. Backend libraries and performance are superior in my opinion.
- CRConrad 5y ago1) It pretty much does, AIUI. 2) "Doing it for the language's sake" -- Not necessarily the language itself, but he clarity it affords you. I could never quite get my head around the "half-typed, half-not; half-OO, half-not" nature of JavaScript; it just feels so... messy, to me. Any other language that avoids those as well as Pascal would do me equally well. (Hm, what does that leave? BASIC, C, COBOL, and FORTRAN...?) 2 B) "C++, superior backend libraries and performance" -- Maybe... but not by all that much, AIUI. Compensated for by clarity and simplicity (leading to better safety and productivity) on Pascal's side, IMO.
