Hum, i think everyone love javascript, but no one wants to actually write some ...

(thats what i can deduct from all these lib to convert whatever into js)

Javascript has the benefit of being able to easily run natively on the web. Lua is more complex to get running in a browser, as other languages are as well.

Javascript has the disadvantage in that some people know and love and feel more comfortable in other languages. If you can convert from a language you love to a language that makes it easy to get into a browser... that's the dream.

Yup, that's my case, i miss the easy workflow of other languages with "more feature". I miss native namespace and packaging, class, a code completion that works... etc
