Thanks for replying! I looked on your website, where there’s more information.

Half of my question was surprise, because I would have thought something like Common Lisp, Erlang, Chez Scheme, Guile Scheme, Chicken Scheme would have been interesting choices. Despite being compiled they have various support for interpreters, embedding, and live update / hot reload of code.

The other half was curiosity because I just didn’t know why JavaScript would be chosen and would like to know. (Hence my question.)

You should post here as your own post about the project. That would be interesting.

And congratulations on having some code running on JWST. It’s gotta be uniquely thrilling.
