yes, I am considering this and it should not be that hard (also Kotlin, Nashorn javascript...), but at this stage Titanoboa is just a one-man-show - so patience, I might get there ;)

FWIW, I would have to check all the ones listed but if they're sane scripting languages on the jvm then they'll implement the JSR-223 interface allowing one to pick them at runtime without a huge amount of drama: https://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr223/inde...

newcrobuzon you're a genius my friend someone should give you an award I loved your idea and how you approached it it's fantastic for developers. I'm a root Java dev and I have to say you did fantastic work to make developers life easier, you didn't take any approach you made your own this is awesome. If you get Javascript working I feel like I'm getting back into AppJet days! This is fantastic stuff. If you show me how I can help get the javascript stuff going I would be glad to help you in this initative since I have adopted NodeJS recently like you said, being a one man army you have to be efficient and JS makes me more efficient.

Thanks ramon! Appreciate your kind words! Feel free to shoot me an email or reach me on twitter and let's stay in touch!

For sure. Being a one man army has it's perks and challenges. I hope this project has a community form around it.

The JVM is more underrated/unknown than it should be in the startup space, tools like what you're making make it far more accessible.
