Please use a language like C, D, C++, or Python. They are much more lightweight. It takes hundreds of lines of javascript to be executed to do a single "console.log."


Please let people write their hobby projects in whatever language and stack they want.


Printf implementations range from 300 to 1000 lines.

cout in C++ is not any smaller.

This is on top of the many hundreds to thousands of lines that need to be ran to actually make that text show up someplace.
