Whilst I can agree mostly with your last three points I don't think any company, even apple, could at this point replace JavaScript on the web. It's too ingrained. Sure there's typescript but that's not a whole sale replacement, the end result is still JavaScript.
- jimbob45 2y agoDart’s JS VM was reportedly faster than vanilla JS. It could have wholesale replaced JS if Google had really leaned into it.
- hgyjnbdet 2y agoYeah but you've still got to convince everyone to rewrite all the JavaScript in it. That's a big ask even for Google with a faster VM. If they'd pushed it I would predict chrome market share taking a dive. Personally I think they did the right thing pivoting away from trying to replace JavaScript.
