The Cinnamon desktop environment found in Linux Mint uses JavaScript on the back-end. My knowledge doesn't extend much beyond that (other DEs, and what they do, nor the full extent of JS in Cinnamon), but I did look at it at one point.

Makes me wonder if OP was talking it about that in particular or if there's some other project with a bundled JS interpreter they decided not to work with.

This meme should be rewritten in js

I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

More specifically, my programming background is in industrial automation and I'd like to add some more 'robust and flexible' algorithms to CoolerControl so I can control my system fans / temperature better, but it's written in a mix of TypeScript and Rust.

I've spent 20 years programming hard real-time z80 assembly and know quite a few higher-level languages. (Although I prefer the lower-level ones.) Not those ones, however, so it's not just a couple of hours work to raise a PR against that project. Going to need to crack some books.

id say it could be worse it could be written in dhtml but that's pretty much better than js these days
