I feel the people doing heavy work with graphics APIs and 3D work with robots too will push this back into the javascript language given some time.

- tlarkworthy 13y agoI work with robots. The leading middleware is ROS. It is multi language, but does not support JS out the box (unlike LISP, Java, C++ and Python), though there is movement there http://brandonalexander.com/rosnodejs/ http://brandonalexander.com/rosnodejs/ I can see JS useful for a UI to a robot, but I can't see it replacing Python for math, or C++ for speed, or LISP for planning systems. That said, I can imagine node.js being a better async message router than the current C++ one. ROS is glued together with XML-RPC, which I think was a mistake (why not JSON???)
