Hello,

Given that _javascript_ is prototyped and seemingly ill-suited to
GObject-Introspection, perhaps Vala needs re-evaluating. A logical step
might be to introduce Vala bytecode, and finish optimisation on the
target computer. This could be achieved using llvm/clang.

As one of the lead developers of gjs currently working on it at the moment (by sheer coincidence, it usually doesn't get much development), why do you say _javascript_ is ill-suited to GObject-Introspection? What problems do you have with GJS/_javascript_ at the moment?

 

I believe these points need to be addressed before an app deployment and
sandboxing mechanism are even employed within GNOME.
