Why do you love to see a particular language used for something?
It would be like being excited at seeing someone using aluminum to build something over steel/wood/etc.
- leetharris 2y agoSorry, late reply, but I think it's still worth answering. I think Javascript is a really fun language. I've done a lot of embedded C and it can be... exhausting? I would love to try Javascript on an embedded system, IoT device, etc. I'll bet a lot of the most annoying stuff can be abstracted away pretty easily on modern hardware.
- aembleton 2y agoNot the parent, but I like seeing particular languages used for something like this because it may be a langauge that I am familiar with along with all of its libraries and tooling. This makes a project like this that interacts with hardware easier to acheive.

- sbarre 2y agoWhat a cynical take, especially here in a community that should be celebrating novel uses of technology, whether it would be your choice or not.
- verbalstoner 2y agoThere is nothing new about using JS for UI, as that is the only place it belongs.
- bl4ckneon 2y agoIt's also intresting to see a language used in a way it's not intended to necessarily our for a creative/unique use. Why do people like to port doom to random devices, because it was never indended to run on those (and it's a challenge/meme at this point)
- beaugunderson 2y agoto speak to your example: my girlfriend's dad was a welder on aluminum boats. he is always excited to see aluminum boats, find out who built them, etc.
