Comment on Would you use JavaScript compiled to C for your server applications

Comments

I like Javascript, I write a lot of it. The progress that has been made through the years is pretty remarkable. Sometimes its hard to believe.

That said, javascript handles every number as a 64 bit float. For a lot of applications, that just doesn't matter. But to me, it does... its caused a lot of heart aches in my life, and for that I want to keep a better language for my server.

The plan is to provide primitive data type extensions as well which can be used in place of the "var" keyword
