It makes much more sense to use a good language (Kotlin, Rust, Java) and transpile to JavaScript. There's already great tooling for it.

- jfengel 4y agoJavaScript seems an unlikely compiler target, forced on us out of the odd historical success of JS on the browser. I'd think that a better target would be to make a VM like WASM.
- smt88 4y agoIf WASM were a viable target today, I'd agree, but it isn't yet. Transpiling to JS is ready for production and widely compatible with all browsers already.
