Blockshell – A minimal blockchain learning CLI

Are there any JavaScript blockchain implementations?

This might sound like a super stupid question but it's the only language I know my way around very well and I'd love to figure out how they work in practice.

Truffle is a framework for writing solidity smart contracts, which themselves run on the ethereum blockchain. Its not a blockchain implementation.

Solidity, the etherum language is based on JavaScript

Isn't only the syntax of Solidity based on JS, not the implementation?

It's actually a lot closer to C than Javascript.

However geth, the Go Ethereum implementation, has a Javascript CLI.
