@dragon there's a lot of alternatives but they all have to boil down to javascript in the end because that's the only thing browsers support, that's just the platform. There's typescript/purescript/elm, and there's various things that compile to webassembly but with those you still need a javascript layer to interface with the DOM.

Important to me tho is that modern javascript absolutely isn't so bad as people make it out to be :>

@f0x yeah that makes a lot of sense, it's just strange now that now things just transpile to html/css/js

I should look more into webassembly

@dragon I also don't think it makes sense for browsers to support anything else, JS is flexible enough to support all those other things being built on top of it for the people that really want to. Supporting anything else would introduce massive amounts of extra work, with little gain. Maybe in the future once everything is Chromium we'll get GoogleScript or something though....

@f0x yeah I definitely agree with you there like it makes sense its just not the best it could be I feel
