JavaScript is a real language. I should make it more explicit - I want a real language that's sufficiently different than JS. Any of the list is not. If you look closely, none of the languages is actually python or ruby (or anything else that's sufficiently different), just JS with altered syntax. Getting all the semantic differences is REALLY hard and once you do it it's slow (e.g. untranslated pypy slow, ~60x slowdown), so you can't use it. My problem is not with JS per se it's with the absolute lack of choice.
- mercer 12y agoWhat about ClojureScript? From what I gather it's quite fast and it couldn't be more different from javascript. Or even C via asm.js?
- icebraining 12y agoIn what way is Brython just JS with altered syntax, and not actually Python?
