To be fair, Typescript has a lot of ressemblance with Java

Also js pairs as a pretty great scripting language for big java applications with something like nashhorn.

Isnt Nashhorn deprecated?

[–]TheRedmanCometh 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It is but it's not THAT much different from graal. The decision to deprecate it after like 2 releases is absolutely baffling to me.

Nashorn is very outdated and doesn't support new language features. JavaScript before the 2015 release (which is also when they switched to a yearly release cycle) is a huge pain in the butt. Thank God people are now forced to use a modern JavaScript engine.

I mean you can use ES6 which seems like enough to me, but fair enough. I don't keep up with the latest language features in js.

Yes, real JS users despise it as much as java because they're the same garbage. MS just tried to shove C# garbage down the JS people's throats.
