I keep waiting for something better than js/ts to do frontends so I dont have to learn it. I'm still waiting... I thought wasm would have gotten further along by now.
- ironmagma 5y agoPretty much any wasm language will require a JS runtime somewhere if you’re going to do substantial things with it, so might as well learn it either way.
- rr808 5y agoReally though? I think wasm app will be able to write to DOM so no JS required, it can't yet but seems inevitable.
- ironmagma 5y agoI’m not an expert, but DOM APIs seem particularly suited to JavaScript. There is probably a way to handle it via Wasm, but this is a bit like avoiding learning C when writing native code.
