But the problem remains, CoffeeScript compiles to JavaScript so you are
still limited by JS.
What about Lua ?
I find it pretty powerful for such a small language. And I do think it
makes sens to base a GUI on a scripting language.
I'm with John Carmack on this one (not that I always agree with him): Using
scripting for parts of your program just encourages the team to have
non-programmers writing production code, and that's never a good thing
(hell, there's a lot of *actual* programmers who don't even know what
they're doing). And if the only people writing code are real programmers,
they may as well just use a real langauge.
As for the choice of
Javascript with Qt, the choice is obvious: the goal is to be able to
write once and run anywhere (i.e on desktop, on mobile devices AND on
the web).
That's a poor reason to aid in the proliferation of such a terrible
language. It's also a poor reason to write one's own software in such a bad
langauge. What's needed is for JS on the web to be replaced with a real
langauge, or at least a sensible one (or better yet, for this "web as an
applications platform" idiocy to finally end, but that's a separate matter).
Do you have any opinion about Dart from Google?
