gollark: Functional programming forever! Try F#, it has decent OOP interop!
gollark: Probably. Some people like OOP far too much. Some just think it's an industry standard and therefore important.
gollark: WebAssembly abuse is fun. Just today I read about Mozilla using it to compile a Python interpreter to JS.
gollark: Maybe compile the JVM to WebAssembly then use that. Hmm.
gollark: I wonder if there's a Java→JS compiler.
