JS is the new JVM. Write once, run anywhere is still the dream, I'm glad new programming languages are taking advantage of JavaScript's versatility.

  It's better than the JVM. It provides an excellent, high-performance runtime for dynamic languages (JS), and an excellent, high-performance runtime for static, memory-unsafe languages (asm.js)!

  > Write once, run anywhere is still the dream More like "write once, run in the browser". I don't think most compile-to-js languages care too much about "anywhere", they are just trying to get nicer alternatives in what is basically a platform (the browser) closed to anything except JS.

    The examples in the article seem much more focused on NodeJS.

      Javascript will run anywhere you have something to run it on, same as Java, or any other language.
