> Web platform people don’t have the disdain for JS that many internet commenters do. I'm not a web platform person, but I have coded some wasm application as a part of my undergraduate course work, and it is really annoying to use javascript just because rust code cannot be initialized without this BASIC of XXI century. Outdated unsafe language with outdated unsafe API for DOM access on top of modern language with an ability to design strict, safe and elegant APIs. One need not to be a guru of JS to get access to DOM and to initialize wasm-module, and to write the majority of code in rust, but all this javascript stuff feels like a fifth wheel for a cart: maybe it doesn't hurt much, but it is a dead weight at least. I mean, I'm not a web platform person, and it is far far away from my day to day work, so maybe I see it all wrong, but I believe that javascript is doomed, like any other fifth wheel. It will last, maybe decade or even more, but it is doomed.
