@katzenmann I mean gnome shell is a compositor written in js. Also you can use typescript instead.

@lw64 Gnome shell is a desktop environment. The compositor is mutter which is written in C. I guess GNOME developers disagree and say that mutter is a "compositor library" and gnome shell uses it. Eh whatever. I don't like typescript either. To use JavaScript or TypeScript you have to depend on a lot of software written in a systems language. That's not really my thing. I'd rather write the code in the systems language itself.
