- ElijahLynn 9y agoI foresee JavaScript being with us for the next 20 years whether we like it or not. It is the language of the web. We may have transpilers of all sorts but it will always come down to JavaScript at the base.
- buzzybee 9y agoNope. Replaced by WASM within 5.
- ElijahLynn 9y agoThat statement means we will all be using Web Assembly to manipulate the DOM...and then to do any scripting we will just be writing WASM? What am I missing here?
- khedoros1 9y agoJavascript may be around, as a compatibility layer at the very least. I tend to agree with the sibling comment, though: WASM at the base, compiled from Javascript (and just about every other language you could want). WASM isn't something you'd be likely to hand-code, it seems like. None of that changes this fact for me: JS/ES is completely irrelevant to me as a development language. I've learned a bit and found portions reminiscent of a few other languages, but I don't really have a practical use for it, myself.
