Developer Rewrites Polygon.js Engine from Scratch in Jai

Original: Rewriting a Commercial Engine in Jai

The creator of Polygon.js, a commercial 3D plugin engine built on Three.js, has rewritten the software from scratch in Jai, the programming language developed by Jonathan Blow. The move replaced the original JavaScript-based codebase with Jai, an unusual choice for production tools given the language's limited availability. Readers are debating the trade-offs of abandoning an established web ecosystem for a niche systems language.

Why now: Choosing Jai, a rarely used and largely unreleased language, for a commercial engine is an unconventional engineering decision that sparks debate among developers.
