So why doesn't any major runtime run Java natively? Or C++ natively? Or Rust natively?
Why is this such a cool unlock that hasn't been done for any other language?

85% of this are people tired/bored of Node.js.
- smt88 3y agoPython is among the most popular languages and it doesn't require a compile step. TypeScript is entirely metadata, so it just doesn't make sense to need to compile it.
- 7bit 3y agoI don't understand your point. I don't even understand your argument. The java runtime runs java. And C++ and Rust are compiled and have no runtime.
- hibbelig 3y agoJava is compiled, too. The Java runtime is the JVM which runs byte code.
- paulddraper 3y agoJVM runs java bytecode. Java bytecode is compiled from Java (javac), Scala (scalac), etc
- baq 3y agothe jvm bytecode has been designed to be bytecode from day 1. JS is the TS's bytecode but it has been designed to be a language to be developed in, which causes impedance mismatches as tools and people get confused about the usage context.
