Pascal is a language from a different era and for a different era. JS/TS has already won the war as the cross-platform language and many tools and frameworks exist to help you ship your app on any platform.
Don't fight the JS beast. Just join it!
- keepamovin 3y agoHahah! Well, I am already on the JS train. Deep on it^0 but I was thinking of switching. Seems you think that would be ill advised! Hahaha! :) 0: https://github.com/BrowserBox/BrowserBox https://github.com/BrowserBox/BrowserBox and https://github.com/00000o1 https://github.com/00000o1
- dtagames 3y agoI'm definitely fascinated by programming languages and I know several -- like many HN'ers. But from a purely practical standpoint, I cannot think of anything that cannot be done w/ JS/TS -- especially functional programming in a gradual way where we can use functional when it benefits us and use imperative/procedural when functional isn't practical or is too much work. I know for LLMs and neural networks, a language that specializes in vector operations is best (and that's not JS nor Pascal), but outside of that I think JS/TS wins.
