I am the main author behind the JS/TS integration for emacs-ng. I still think it is one of the cooler things I have done that people have taken note of.

I am a game programmer by trade, and I had experiencing embedding JS into projects from a previous engine I worked on where JS was the primary gaming scripting layer.

I love emacs and I love lisp in general - I added JS to emacs mainly to find out if I could do it. I also had a hope that adding JS could expand emacs usage to people that don't know elisp, and have JS be a "gateway" into elisp.

I think that the JS integration is a huge testament to the flexibility and quality of emacs and elisp.

As I have gotten older, I've had less and less time for open source, but I don't consider this project abandoned. I still want to upgrade us to the latest deno. My previous upgrade attempt (which you can see in draft PR at the time of this comment) was a little too ambitious - I tried to move us to a more multithreaded approach, but I think I need to work on this more incrementally.
