With enough luck and given time you will be able to skip JS at all! If the community will find the life force after wasting many years on SPA, then we might even see some HTML—near-free canvas/WebGL GUIs!
- snarfy 9y agoYep, like this one - https://pbrfrat.com/post/imgui_in_browser.html https://pbrfrat.com/post/imgui_in_browser.html
- pjmlp 9y agoMicrosoft is already doing it with .NET, others as well. Expect the revenge of browser plugins.
- lunfardo 9y agono way a .net plugin become mainstream, thankfully we left behind java-like-plugins.
- pjmlp 9y agoSorry to disappoint you, but everyone is on the WebAssembly race, all plugins will be back, like it or not. https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-langs https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-langs https://github.com/mbasso/awesome-wasm https://github.com/mbasso/awesome-wasm As for Microsoft, they just announced the Blazor project. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2018/02/06/blazor-experimental-project/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2018/02/06/blazor-ex... Thank browser developers for opening the pandora box.
- m_fayer 9y agoI am not a fan of this. Browsers by now have awesome text layout and rendering support, highlighting, screen reading, zooming. Individual images can be seen/copied/saved, user scripts and styles and browser plugins can access the loaded html content, and so on. All this will have to be redone in canvas for no good reason and I doubt it will be nearly as good as what browsers can do already, and we will lose a lot of openness and interop.
- whoisthemachine 9y agoWhile I agree that we may be able to rid ourselves of JS, why would we want to rid ourselves of HTML? It's become an excellent language for describing a UI.
