Bluebird VS just

It might, if the code can be optimized. There are all sorts of reasons why it might not. For example, at one point in time, a switch statement with more than 128 cases could not be optimized.

Prior to ES6, we used bluebird or Q. Now we have Promises natively:

For example: https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird/wiki/Optimization-killers

The standard library is quite barebones so you’ll need to import something else (Think bluebird for JS). You need an executor to run a future. I recommend using https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio and reading their documentation.

I had a look at the bluebird promise FAQ, in which it mentions that .then(success, fail) is an antipattern. I don't quite understand its explanation as for the try and catch.What's wrong with the following?

I have not looked into how packages like bluebird does this, but I expect it is similar to the above items I expressed

You can look at the implementation of Bluebird an implementation of Promises that preceded them being available in JS itself.

i just tried recompiling v0.0.2 (https://github.com/just-js/just/releases/tag/0.0.2) of just-js and comparing it to current. for the completely static build on ubuntu 22.04 i see following:

0.0.2 (v8 v8.4.371.18) - file size: 15.2 MB, startup RSS: 8.4 MB

Not at all. Javascript, as well as java compiled into the bytecode, but just incrementally and at the runtime. You cannot compile typescript into bytecode directly (at least it intend to be like that). You can even compile js to executable (https://github.com/just-js/just). So no, typescript transpiles to javascript, whereas scala compiles to bytecode, it's different things

Trust me, these guys are insane and go to really extreme levels and use optimization techniques which are not generally prevalent among the general programming fraternity. for eg, look at pico.v it is awesome and just-js is truly unbelievable, then there is faf, most of them combine low level programming trickery to reach those insane numbers. Also some of the code may not be useful in a production app but they actually extract the juice out of the metal at every instance. Memory optimizations, compiler optimizations, postgresql wire implmentations, rust black magic, these guys are really crazy and passionate.
