If you're after stupid suggestions, would it be "breaking your personal rules" to use only enough Javascript to allow just enough of a transpiled version of the in-browser Java runtime to let '90s vintage Java Applets run? Or maybe Flash?
(And no, I'm 100% not offering to do any of the work required to make that come true... ;-) )
- simcop2387 7y agoI'd be willing to try something like that, but both flash and java applets are horrendously complex. The javascript restriction is because it's mostly used by us perl developers on irc and there's a few disgruntled greybeards that will actually use it via lynx or links. Closest thing for flash is shumway, https://mozilla.github.io/shumway/ https://mozilla.github.io/shumway/ which might be possible to make work but it's still got a lot of compatibility issues from what i hear.
