Are any JavaScript developers excited for Blazor?
I see a bunch of hype about Blazor and have dug pretty deep into the framework and certainly see some exciting developments.
However, I haven't read much about the opinions of really talented front end engineers who currently love and prefer javascript / typescript. What do you think?

- staz 7y agonever heard of it.
- ForHackernews 7y agoThis might be a better link: https://learn-blazor.com/getting-started/what-is-blazor/ https://learn-blazor.com/getting-started/what-is-blazor/ First I'm hearing of this project. It sounds cool, but I fear it will eventually die of neglect like every previous attempt to use !JS in the browser. Maybe if Microsoft pushes it heavily with their first-party sites?
- megaman821 7y agoIt looks interesting and should find a niche in LoB apps. The runtime is much to big for consumer facing apps.
- austincheney 7y agoI am not interested in frameworks generally.
- xhubin 7y agoWhy would they be? Isn't Blazor a framework for C# to replace JS with WASM?

- ScottFree 7y agoSo you have to distribute the entire mono runtime with each individual Blazor app? And you're running your app code through not just one but two virtual machines (Mono, then WASM)? No, I can't say I'm too excited about that.
- karmakaze 7y agoI'm not interested in many client-side frameworks. The reference to Silverlight gives a clue as to who it may be targeting. > Unlike former platforms like Silverlight, it does not bring its own rendering engine to paint pixels on the screen. Blazor uses the Browser’s DOM to display data.
- kyriakos 7y agoNope It's essentially front end coding for non front end Microsoft stack developers. Expect convoluted enterprise apps written in it.
- ha1zum 7y agoIf anyone would be interested it would be c# dotnet developers
- acconrad 7y agoWASM will be cool when you can start writing Python, Go, Rust, or Clojure on the front end. Until then, I don't see anyone trying to make their lives more painful by running something like Java or C# on the front end.
