When I started actually experimenting with transpiling my own ideas into the languages that the browser understands. I really didn't have any idea where I was going to end up. I certanily didn't expect to flip the whole damn paradigm; but hey, the only way out is through, right?
Don't hate me, but, I love JavaScript. It's easy, fast to prototype, and runs absolutely everywhere (as long as "everywhere" is in a browser ;)
HOWEVER!!! JavaScript's way of interfacing with its native sibling langs, is fucking atrocious! In 30 years, the coolest component I ever built; might have been the most hideous code ever written.
And it's completely understandable. Tell someone to build a programming language in 11 days. Not a GD one of us would do any better.
So, obviously the most popular language in the world, has some room for improvement.
I believe that, to some extent, I have done just that. But that is only MY opinion. Which is worth about as much as it weighs.
What is worth FAR more, is the convergence of ideas. The give and take, the controversy and cooperation. In short, conversation.
I am devoid of the hubris required to say: "I know better then all of you."
But, if this path is worth walking. And I believe that it is. Then with some descent to what I might have gotten wrong. Some options I didn't see. etc. scrml could be something special.
I may be wrong. I accept that possibility gladly. But how will I ever know, without conversation?
