How is assembly going for you? What is fundamental to the web is the APIs (dom/websockets/webgl/...) not the fact that they are exposed through javascript. Dart

How is assembly going for you? What is fundamental to the web is the APIs (dom/websockets/webgl/...) not the fact that they are exposed through javascript. Dart seems especially nice considering that they go out of their way to provide (most?) html5 apis in dart and also Angular. In fact the dom is defined in an IDL which can generate the dom API not only in javascript but a lot of other languages (Java/C++/etc)

Javascript isn't really comparable to Assembly though, is it?

  No, it's really not. This is an argument that tries to emotionally justify the limitations of web browsers that force us to compile down alternative languages into web "assembly".

  He still have point,what matters is the APIs you have access to,not coding in language X or Y,especially when your goal is not to develop "web pages" but web apps that arent "brochures".
