Standards are hard and take a long time. C++ hasn't been haphazardly rediscovering decades of lambda expression use, for instance. Web components have been in development in some form for more than a decade.
- hacker_9 11y agoDid you just compare C++ to JS/CSS/HTML?? C++ as old as it is, is still leagues ahead of JS. Honestly was this a joke post?
- ehnto 11y agoJS, CSS and HTML were never designed to be a fully fledged programming application development solution, and no one is suggesting that it is supposed to be either. They weren't even designed in paralell. Now that this has become a requirement, the slow moving spec machine is trying to resolve the issue. Is this a problem for you? Because it seems to be.
