I'm 100% ready to jump ship there. I would rather work at a shop that does any other language besides Javascript for web guis even with more than a decade of js dev under my belt. The problem is they are impossible to find.

- thinkpad20 11y agoLanguages that compile to JS are plentiful; shops that use those languages are much less so (with the possible exception of coffeescript).
- benjaminjackman 11y agoI believe smrtinsert is referring to places that you could work at to write those languages, not that the languages themselves are impossible to find. I don't know if anyone is actually being paid by someone else to write ScalaJS, GHCHS and/or Js_of_ocaml.
- virtualwhys 11y ago> places that you could work at to write those languages Ah, missed that, assumed OP meant if only there was a way to write JS without having to write JS.
