Why do you want to write javascript ? Most self-respecting programming languages have a javascript backend (Let's list a few pretty ones: Rust, OCaml, Haskell). There's no need to manually generate javascript and you can treat it like you would treat assembly language: something you don't want to touch 99% of the time.
- epolanski 2y agoNone of the languages you list allow a small team to move ahead web, native and server code with ease. None of the languages you list make hiring easy, at all. None of the languages you list are easy to setup across platforms/cloud environments. None of the languages you list make handling a monorepo simple. I am most certain (I know Haskell, lisps, Elm, C, Java, Scala) that there are different good tools for different use cases, but I ain't picking any of those 9 times out of 10 without a solid reason to do so in the context of web development.
