- foderking 3y agoJavaScript isn't slow
- viraptor 3y agoJavaScript is very fast if you want/need it to be. Emscripten/asm.js approach is in the same category as native for example. Your simple code won't be too fast, but not all code needs to be. Also, have you heard of JavaOS? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaOS https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaOS
