Hello,
Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeanShell, specifically:
"Since Java 9, Java instead includes JShell, a different read–eval–print loop (REPL) shell based on Java syntax, indicating that BeanShell will not be continued"
I wonder if we could remove Beanshell part from LO.
Also, we use Rhino as _javascript_ engine (Rhino is written in Java). Some people proposed C/C++ engine like Spidermonkey or V8 (see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97827) but it seems they may be problematic too because of instable API and specific GC, see Michael's comment here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97827#c7
However, shouldn't we focus on Basic support and Python and remove the 2 others or at least Beanshell ?
Goal: diminish Java dependency and maintaining burden by removing code.
Now I must recognize I don't know if these 2 features are used or
not. Considering number of bugtrackers it doesn't seem so but
perhaps it's because there are very few bugs.
