The more WASM projects are being released , the more I’m telling myself that WASM has nothing to offers to regular JavaScript developers.
Solutions like this have already existed and still exist today. ASP.NET Webforms was basically the same attempt as this but with HTML5 base controls.
Running .NET on the browser was a great idea on paper for cross-platform application , but seing how much time it takes to load the entire .NET framework it’s just isn’t a suitable solutions for production.
- cm2187 8y agoI think the point is that you won’t need to load the entire .net framework when the technology has matured. You can probably get away with a 1MB binaries if it is compiled server side, only shipping the dependencies used, etc. I don’t think this will ever replace javascript for common websites. But think intranet applications, online trading platforms or webmails, or mobile web apps.
- manigandham 8y agoThis isn't a real project, it's just an experiment. Blazor is the official Microsoft project that uses a small .NET runtime with Razor components and is already smaller and faster than many JS bundles without any optimizations.
