Tired of being just a JavaScript programmer or an enterprise developer by just using Java. Here comes JDK8 with Nashorn as well as project Avatar.js . Avatar project brings the node programming model, API’s and module ecosystem to Java Platform. Now the developers can have new state of art application by using the world’s two most used programming language, Namely Java-JavaScript. This is a start of an era of hybrid apps and would revolutionize the world by utilizing the two environments.
It would help you to access the latest modules in node ecosystem and also give you the power of scalability, consistency and would also enable you to utilize the different collections. It would actually mean that you can drive the two beast with one stick.
NodeJS + JavaScript
When we have a look at the above image, its evident that it still follows the same event queue model but apart from running on node environment it runs on Nashorn as well is being supported by Avatar.js .
It would enable to you to write fully scalable and maintainable applications on the fly. Since everything is on JVM we can track each and every activity on it. So now you can get the ease of JavaScript with the sustainability of Java.
