The biggest advantage of javascript is quick prototyping + manipulating DOM objects with no tooling (you can debug with javascript console in the browser). I would die the day, I need a compiler to see a color change on a button.
- codygman 12y agoWhat if one of those compile to JavaScript languages forked Firefox and/or Chromium and added support to their languages in the tooling? Would that suffice for you?
- teknologist 12y agoDone: dart
- manidoraisamy 12y agoYes. As long as the compiler is invisible and fast enough to notice any difference. But then, will we ever have such compiler across all browsers?
- HelloNurse 12y agoDo you mean something like VBscript in old Internet Explorer versions? Do you understand why it died off?
- codygman 12y agoWas VBscript source code visible from the browser? What I'm recommending is basically something to replace Javascript in exactly the same way (except it's a sane* language). * I do concede ES6 is much much better
