Why JavaScript
The JavaScript platform has grown immensely in the past decade. Where people once regarded it as a toy, a purely interpreted script meant to bring life to otherwise static content - modern JavaScript has evolved into a power-house capable of enterprise level applications. I write capable because it requires an enormous amount of tooling to unleash that power.
Due to advanced JIT compilation a well written Quartex application can deliver native performance - in some cases even surpassing it depending on what you compare with. There is an extraordinary amount of research and development being invested in JavaScript by both individuals and companies; far beyond what any other single language is seeing.
By targeting JSVM (JavaScript virtual machine) rather than machine-code, object pascal developers can now literally have their cake and eat it. You can re-apply your hard earned skills as a Delphi or Freepascal developer, enjoy the ease and power you are accustomed to -and at the same time tap into this amazing new paradigm that is JavaScript.
As a bonus, you can literally copy a service you created with Quartex from Linux to Windows without having to recompile (due to its universal nature). This means that with the right tooling, developers can quickly build-up an infrastructure, and at the same time avoid monolithic, expensive and hard to maintain end-products.
