In terms of the aesthetic pleasure you derive from reading the source, or the functionality of the artifact? I mean, saying everything but drivers would be better in js/v8 sounds absurd to me. You think the Linux kernel would be better performant written in js/v8? Your GDE? Window manager? Package manager?
- agumonkey 13y ago> most of the userland part of my OS I was careful in picking my words. I don't think Javascript is suited to express kernel level system control. There are many windows managers written in dynamic languages (lua, python, lisp). GDE = Desktop Environment ? I don't know if computing Package Manager dependency graphs be that slower if written in js, probably. Beside the point was not about micro benchmark performance but about separation of concerns and reuse, more than a third of ls is output formatting.
