I'm surprised they still include JustJS, which is basically built to get JS on this list and works by calling out to C very extensively. It's basically a toy or experiment, not a usable framework (at least last I looked at it).

you might want to check it out again! the latest code is more mature and hopefully easier to use. it is though very much designed to be a lower level SDK rather than an all-singing/dancing higher level platform like node.js or deno.

also, your assertion re. C is incorrect - the C/C++ is mostly boilerplate and wrappers around C libraries and syscalls. postgres driver and http framework completely written in JS. still lots of work to do and you are right it is not "usable" in sense of it having little to no development resources right now but i find it very useful for building many things personally.

JS on V8 is very very fast.
