It's good to hear some positive voices in this thread :) 1. Let's focus on constructive answers to questions like "how do I integrate Pascal with language X", for any X, *before* we jump into discussion with statements "I hate X". People want such integration also because they like Pascal, not only X. We work in an ecosystem filled with lots of technologies, with devs knowing other languages than Pascal, with www browsers using JS, whether we like it or not. The choice of integrating with JS (or really any other popular language X) may be just reasonable for a given project. 2. I don't have a constructive answer myself, though I know people working on QuickJS integration with Castle Game Engine, see #quickjs channel on Castle Game Engine Discord ( https://castle-engine.io/talk.php ) and https://github.com/castle-engine/quickjs-demo . You can touch with people on that channel, in particular Coldzer0, if you're looking for people familiar with Pascal + QuickJS. 3. Discussions whether language X is good or bad should be an independent discussion, in an independent thread(s), IMHO. Because such talk can quickly go off-topic -- which this thread clearly shows. The poster didn't get any sort of an answer he counted on (feedback about QuickJS + Pascal), instead the thread went into JS and do we like it, and Python, and Lua, and Basic... We can all talk about advantages and disadvantages of various languages, and to be clear I think it can be a constructive discussion, but it should be a separate thread(s). Because we know such discussions can get both lengthy and heated :) 4. Personally, from the "integration with other languages", I'm looking in the future for Python + Castle Game Engine integration, which I described for https://castle-engine.io/roadmap#_python_integration . I documented there the reasons "why" (you can scroll to the "why" section there).
