I'm waiting for a JavaScript interpreter written in Javascript.

Edit: It's already here :) https://github.com/jterrace/js.js/

I hate java, I hate javascript, I hate node.js, so basically, I just leave a comment here, and you can make a conclusion about what I think about all this.

Just out of curiosity, what are your preferred languages and server environments?

THE HORROR

Hey, if you want your precious node back, you can then just run Rhino on the JVM on the node.

Why not just use the javascript x86 emulator that somebody posted to boot an OS? Then you can run the Hotspot JVM, v8, ad infinitum. Piece of cake.

Atwood's Law: any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.

...and, eventually, there will be no other language than JavaScript.

Would be interested in seeing a JVM written in Go.

I think that the other way round, Go on the JVM, might be nice. It could actually be faster than native Go; Go function dispatch might benefit from the HotSpot JIT inlining optimizations.
