Description

It would be nice to have a Javascript Gremlin Language Variant that could work with any ES5 runtime, specially the ones that support CommonJs, like Node.js.
Nashorn, the engine shipped with JDK 8+, does not implement CommonJs but provides additional extensions making modular JavaScript possible. Nashorn should be supported in order to run glv tests under the same infrastructure (JDK8).
