   @wavejumper3 @novenary Oh JavaScript is a very well ported language, there's a bunch of interpreters for it and it's one of the few languages with a testsuite combined with the specification.
   
   But there's a massive difference between a language and it's ecosystem, porting an interpreter/compiler is doable even including the standard library, porting the whole bunch of libraries and applications making use of the language that's another story.

     @lanodan @wavejumper3 and also environments matter
     C can run on almost anything, but whether it's embedded, windows or linux, things are going to be *very* different
     same goes for js, even with the standard library, you're gonna have a very different set of expectations whether you're in a browser, node or duktape

     @novenary @wavejumper3 Yeah, kind of a two-way street with both sides then going to multiple directions.
