Hi,
As the "core" developer of JS support for Vert.x this is quite some
shocking news as the project really relies on Nashorn for JS support.
I've been spending many hours to get GraalVM.js working and to some
extent we can run some unmodified application with it, but we're not
there yet. For example Nashorn dynalink and Multi threading support are
not there yet.
It would be nice to hear what's the ETA for the removal, will project
Detroit provide a JS script engine (ala Nashorn and will it be
available as a replacement?)...
Cheers,Paulo
