Is it possible to build application using Javascript on Linux platforms?
javascript
Solution
The three best options that I know of are Rhino (using Swing, or other Java graphics frameworks), Seed, and Gjs.
Seed and Gjs are both Gnome projects that bind the GTK+ and Gnome libraries to JavaScript. Seed uses the JavaScriptCore runtime from WebKit and Gjs uses Mozilla's Spidermonkey engine. Gnome Shell is using Gjs.
Another option that, as far as I know, is still pretty immature is Gom. Instead of just a JavaScript binding for GTK+, it has an HTML-like DOM interface.
Problem
Javascript is widely used to create apps in the web. How about desktop, etc? Gnome Shell is made of it. I'm just curious if there's a way or something which allows devs to access Gnome/Clutter graphics libraries?
