I know that. My point is China keeps saying things as if they are really held back, but the reality is they’re themselves afraid of stirring the shit and getting effed up by world at large.

If you check my comment history, you’ll see that I support Taiwan.

Who’s stopping them anyway? Just do it if you are so obsessed with it.

While it’s true that both python and js are interpreted languages, making them highly portable, JS at that time was a very lightweight language with a robust runtime offered by mozjs, that was built to be easy to embed into other systems, while python was designed for being the framework in which you build apps directly, hence requiring deeper dependencies.

From what I can gather

1. JS is system agnostic, doesn’t require compilation or multiple dependency binaries, as opposed to say Python.
2. JS is widely understood, could get more contributors.
3. JS is a good enough scripting language made with UI stuff in mind.

I also see people lamenting that lua wasn’t chosen, so there’s that.

And that’s a fact

Fun fact, roughly half of gnome-shell codebase is written in JavaScript.

Yup same thoughts!

Just like how we don’t know what it would feel like to be dead, and we dread dying, I suppose choosing to be born would feel like death of that self that is given this choice, so I guess the question can be rephrased as “if you could die in this moment, would you choose that?”

I guess not.

Just like Joe :(

Humans are the most intelligent beings stupid enough to kill themselves and everything with them. They worst enemy is their need to fuck things up coz of lines on ground.
