Keith, do you plan to support other languages beyond javascript?

This brings me back to 2004 when I used to work for Safeco. Business analysts / insurance agents would write business rules in VB.NET. Engineers would write application / integration code which would execute the business rules (both languages compiled to the .NET runtime so were compatible)




Candidly: not immediately. There’s a lot of stuff we do that’s a Hard Problem (TM) to get working across a bunch of different languages, mostly associated with static analysis of code / Abstract Syntax Tree parsing. We’ve foregone multiple language support for now to focus on enabling people to be deeply productive with JavaScript by being highly opinionated.
