    Kotlin can also compile into JS and is more familiar to most JS developers. More options are good as a general rule and we’re starting to see more players in this space.

    You know it’s bad when you’re using a lower level bytecode or native language to compile to a high level interpreted language just to avoid said high level language.

      Yeah, it’s kind of an amusing situation. I literally just treat Js as bytecode nowadays. I haven’t had to write a line of it in years.

        Honestly, production JS is so obfuscated and processed and hard to read as an outsider that it’s essentially bytecode. Reverse engineering JS in a webpage is a common security CTF challenge.
