Comment on Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible?

But that was something that had to be installed on the system and integrated into the browser, not quite what i’m asking as it wasn’t an alternative browser per se

That was only initially true, by the end of its life it was a default component in some major browsers. Such as chrome and internet explorer.

And prior to that it frequently came preinstalled by the manufacturer.

But with all that said, I suspect we’ve missed the intent of the previous comment. To illustrate that none of the alternative means to run code in a web browser has worked out.

And with that said due to market momentum (like how so many apps are electron based) I would expect JavaScript to outlive C++ haha.
