I hate JavaScript and don’t want to use it at all. I want WebAssembly to allow me to write “traditional” webpages using a different scripting language.

- xigoi 8mo agoIt’s not the right tool for the job if, for example, you need a tuple-indexed hashmap, which I needed for a web app recently. TypeScript does not help, it’s just a layer on top. Also I hate the inconsistent syntax and the footguns inherited from C, such as fallthrough in switch statements.
