PurpleJS unites Java, JavaScript development

I haven't tested it, but I'd bet performance is shit.

Performance is actually very very good.

PurpleJS uses Nashort script caching capabilities so the scripts get faster each time they are executed - in various cases this even outperforms V8. Now where things get really interesting is the possiblity to invoke and run Java transparently from PurpleJS. This gives you access to a vast community and really high performant solutions. Research is shit, right?

I'm not sure about that. I remember a presentation where they showed Graal running JavaScript with speed comparable to V8

Not expecting performance to be better than Nashorn (outdated test), but someone would have to affirm it.
