There is less than 4% more code in C than JavaScript. That’s pretty much, many features on the gnome-desktop is using JavaScript too, like gestures and mouse events.
You don’t get to decide what too much JS in the project is unless you actually work on and have in depth knowledge of the project. I dont like JS, but it has its uses.
Many people are conflating modern electron bloatware with ‘JS bad’, but things are not that simple.
the desktop shell is mostly javascript though
Yeah, on their git says 46% of the code is JavaScript: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell
That’s pretty much, almost half of the code.
That page also shows that there is more C. That page is also specifically the shell, not all of the desktop.

Closer to 50/50, and other parts of the GNOME desktop like mutter, are largely C. Saying the entire GNOME desktop is mostly JS is silly.
On the other hand, saying that there’s way too much javascript in it is objectively factual.

No one here said GNOME desktop is mostly JS.
