I’m not sure how people are supposed to do that in the browser. This feels like an excessively dismissive comment.

- mgaunard 3y agoHave you not heard of WebAssembly?
- kangalioo 3y agoWebAssembly is not without tradeoffs either. I'm not an expert, but it's often heavier due to bundling the native language's stdlib; it's annoying to interop with the browser environment because that's still JavaScript-tailored; it's also just hard to write code that can be compiled into WASM (e.g. in Rust, it needs to be `#[no_std]`)
- mgaunard 3y agoIf you're doing real work, you don't interact with the browser. If you're just glueing things together between APIs, then JavaScript is fine, and static typing would just get in the way.
