Your example is about something that gives power to the developers. My is about something that gives power to application users.
Which do you think is more important for non-developers?

Same with heavy websites, people complain often of bloated JS-based sites hogging their CPU, RAM and battery life. Doing the computation on the server is actually beneficial to the user's hardware. Non-developers don't care about client-side computing as much developers think they do. Aside, I also can't believe I'm defending server side rendering in this day and age where people actually think client side routing is better. Around 10 years ago when React was still getting new, I would have held the same views as you. It's interesting how tech moves cyclically.
- rglullis 4y agoI don't think we are contradicting each other. I am not talking about using WASM to make a ecommerce site, or any site for that matter. I am talking about applications running in the browser. Games. Email/Social media clients. Productivity Tools. Media Players. Basically anything that people want to do on a mobile app, but that could be done/distributed via the browser.
