I agree with the first part, but getting rid of JS entirely means that if you want to augment some HTML with one line of javascript you have to build a WASM binary to do it?
I see good use cases for building entirely in html/JS and also building entirely in WASM.
- em-bee 1y agogetting rid of javascript entirely means to be able to manipulate the DOM without writing any javascript code. not to remove javascript from the browser. javascript will still be there if you want to use it.
- catlifeonmars 1y agoMost of the time your toolchain provides a shim so you don’t need to write JS anyway. What’s the difference?
- em-bee 1y agoright, that's exactly the point. those that have a shim already successfully got rid of javascript, and that's enough.
