JavaScript will die a horrible death. That's my dream anyway.

Yo what did JavaScript do to you man? Did it make your stack irrelevant?🤣

Who fucking downvotes a rant? You must be from SO. Fuck whoever you are.

JavaScript is a fucking plague.

@segfault0xff Yawn. Just because you don't like and think it sucks doesn't mean it's not useful for someone.

Good god when can people start wrapping their minds around this concept.

@segfault0xff give me an alternative to front end web and I’ll be on that band wagon, but until that day JS sadly has a very large foothold on the world, so I’ll love it for being the language it is, and not the clusterfuck it has become.

@Stuxnet I don't like it because of the security implications. It's horrifying.

You have to wait until web assembly can do what js stuff, otherwise this is not gonna happen soon

You know What? Screw it. I'm gonna build my own front end language. With blackjack! And hookers!

@segfault0xff and fire trucks, don't forget the fire trucks.

@monkeyboy hey, you can extend the base class if you want, but I'm trying to keep it lightweight.

@segfault0xff @monkeyboy let's create a framework for fire trucks

@lucaspar go on..

And trains too, I like trains
We could call it NovoScript and bootstrap the Trai.ns framework

@lucaspar notjs.js

@devTea close enough https://npmjs.com/package/...

Js will die when internet is dead. HTML isn’t going anywhere anytime soon🤔

@sunfishcc guess I'll just rake it in developing JS malware. It's easy, so...

JS and all the shady frameworks will die and be replaced by sweet sweet WebAssembly! 😍 Try it, it's awesome and will be the future unlike other "replacements" like Googles Dart because there's a standard by W3C!

Or reborn as Lisp... But who'll need a Lisp machine in the browser if it's AI winter anyways?

@phorkyas lisp is cool, the nightmare that it is

Exact opposite will happen

@devTea WebAssembly can do almost anything, if you just provide a couple of javascript functions for interfacing with the APIs, right? That means you can already write all of your logic in webassembly (rust or something)

@TempestasLudi haven’t tried it yet, how hard is it? I could do js confidently currently. I’ve heard couple of rumour and meme here and there

@devTea I must confess I haven't tried it either, but I am learning rust now, which is just amazing (the capabilities of c/c++, but the typedness of c#).
There are now tutorials that show you how it's done. In a couplewof steps:
1. Install compiler, write your code, compile your code.
2. Write javascript that loads the webassembly file and gives it an "environment", which usually is just a couple of javascript functions.
3. Profit.

I use to like it but since the JavaScript-bang happens I also wish it should die.
