There's *very* little JavaScript code out there that is not tied to the
underlying platform; typically when people say JavaScript they mean code
that uses the DOM, XHR, etc. node.js and gjs have independent
underlying platforms (custom and gobject-introspection respectively).
"*very* little code" is not an opportunity to say: "lets treat all of
them equally". Examples: [1] sjcl or [2] crypto-js. They aren't tied to
a browser but can be used on it. Or we have /usr/share/web-javascript
and /usr/share/non-web-javascript or something like that, or treat them
equally and share it all to the web wrongly
Java packaging guidelines make no distinction if the Java code is being
used on a web applet or not, and it shouldn't. If a package is reusable
and is being used on another package a link to it should be used, done.
/usr/share/java is not shared by default because there are Java applets
on the repository (VNC remote viewer). I know, I know applets are dying
but follow my idea
[1] http://crypto.stanford.edu/sjcl/
[2] http://code.google.com/p/crypto-js/
It makes no sense to serve gjs or node.js code to the web.
