Hi! I've created this page to showcase the features of Mint (since there are so many) and their corresponding versions in other similar languages.

Languages well suited for client side web code. Most of these (maybe all?) compile to JavaScript and are designed for the web.

Web is just one kind of frontend though. And there's more ways to target web with JavaScript interfacing than transpiling to JavaScript.

Sure, but without further context, "frontend" means the web. And "frontend language" means languages that were designed for the frontend. You can write a website fromtend in Python, but you absolutely shouldn't!

You can use languages like Java and Rust too which are more reasonable options, but they aren't "frontend languages".
