> Does anyone know of a server-side typescript scripting engine that is not trying to be backwards compatible with node? I'm sure you can find other projects that are going to fail, but why do you want to? Node has lots of problems (I am basing this statement on the fact that it's a major tech project). None of them are sufficient to prevent it from being extremely widely used. To fix those problems in a product that will be used, it is not sufficient to provide something sort of like Node but without those problems. You either have to: 1. Provide a tool that requires a major migration, but has some incredible upside. This can attract greenfield projects, and sometimes edge out the existing tool. 2. Provide a tool with minimal migration cost, and without the same problems. Maybe this tool can replace the existing one. Ideally there will be other carrots (performance, reliability, ease of use). Such a tool can get people to migrate if there are enough carrots, and the migration cost is low enough. Deno was a classic example of messing this up. It's not #1 or #2, it has the worst of both worlds. The upside was that it did things "the right way", and the downside was that you couldn't run most code that worked on Node. This is the kind of approach that only attracts zealots and hobbyists.
