NectarJS VS layr

The first google result for "JS to binary" was this: https://github.com/NerdLang/nerd, you might try to give it a spin. However these kinds of solutions come with a lot of caveats as of how to handle stdio, memory, and many other things that other languages, such as C and Go, handle natively as part of their stdlib...

for anyone else interested in approaches to this here's another abandoned attempt to transpile js to c https://github.com/NectarJS/nectarjs

The question is just whether there's sufficient purpose and value for that. https://github.com/NectarJS/nectarjs

Rails/Ruby performance has improved:

Alhough, compiling Javascript to binary makes code even faster https://nectar.js.org , although I wish that project would get more love with bugfixes https://github.com/NectarJS/nectarjs/issues

Technically speaking, this is bollocks. You can compile javascript to machine code for Windows, Mac, and Linux if you so choose, there is even a compiler for arduino, which quite obviously does not and cannot run a javascript interpreter. The point is that, in our modern world, there is no such thing as a scripting language. Virtually any language can be compiled to bytecode to run in the Java JVM, and many (even surprising ones like javascript) can be compiled AOT to native machine code.

Object pascal to JS? Why not just write JS directly? Can you leverage Lazarus? For JS to WASM, there's NectarJs https://github.com/NectarJS/nectarjs but docs appear to be nonexistent :(

Finally, after two years of hard work, Layr v2 is out.

Layr.js is trying to take on something in this middle space. It basically hides either end from you and is still hard to reason about. Only mongodb is supported now. And yes I much prefer the option of having many community made packages over one supported way.

This approach appeals to me because it is in line with one of my biggest obsessions. Indeed, with Layr I'm trying to achieve the same thing — to bring the frontend and the backend together.

With Layr, the frontend and the backend are physically separated (they run in different environments) but logically reunited (it's as if they were in the same environment).
