This would be neat if there were a version without JS, because it makes me shiver.
I'm not against using QBJS while I'm online but want preferably nothing to do with the slow-hog Java while I'm offline. OpenOffice/Libreoffice made me hate Java for all they stand for so that when I'm checking out Linux distros, after successful installation one of the first things I do is to delete that junk that is called office suite.
Sorry for the rant. That's why I was crying the other day, because some neat things could be done with an online interpreter that cannot be done with a compiled program.
QBJS and BAM are browser-based applications. For browser-based applications, javascript is pretty much the goto language (available source code, reference materials, browser-to-browser portability.)
What other language could you imagine being used to implement either QBJS or BAM for running in a browser (whether offline or online)?
Sure, WASM could be one way to go, but yuck.
