Squidward Tentacles meme format. Top panel shows Squidward looking happy while setting up a beach chair, with the text 'WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO AN OPEN SOURCE PROJECT I USE AND APPRECIATE'. Bottom panel shows Squidward looking sad and disappointed, folding up the chair and going back inside a building, with the text 'WRITTEN IN JS'.

I like JavaScript a lot and would be excited by its use in this context.

    The Cinnamon desktop environment found in Linux Mint uses JavaScript on the back-end. My knowledge doesn't extend much beyond that (other DEs, and what they do, nor the full extent of JS in Cinnamon), but I did look at it at one point.

    Makes me wonder if OP was talking it about that in particular or if there's some other project with a bundled JS interpreter they decided not to work with.
