I really, REALLY hate the idea of fracturing the frontend ecosystem further with another scripting language option when there is already an absolutely insane overabundance of tools and frameworks for JS alone
It should at this point be enshrined as an official binding standard that browser UAs must support JS and must NOT support any other scripting languages
- kortex 4y agoThat ship has long sailed. As soon as you have JS, you have the ability to transpile to JS from any language with the appropriate tooling, to say nothing of WASM.
- chrischen 4y agoAny language can be the target of transpiling. JS just happens to be a popular target because we are forced to use it even if we have better options.
- cycomanic 4y agoWhile we're at it, should we also enshrine into OSs that nothing but C shall be used for systems programming and maybe also forbid anything but one gui toolkit....
