Screw javascript, worst idea ever
@sir even Flash was better.
Decent point, hopefully web assembly helps nudge us towards being less hopelessly dependent upon js.
@wolf480pl @sir
Maybe. Honestly though, I don't think it'll be worth the effort for most companies. They already have js developers and performance rn isn't an issue(for most use cases).

>performance rn isn't an issue
Until you add ads and trackers. Then it becomes extermely slow.
And even with uMatrix and stuff, when trackers shouldn't affect anything, some sites manage to be as responsive as a 56k modem. Eg. on Slack, I type messages blindly, and the text only appears a second later.
@mobius @sir
Yes, because everybody was aware that it's a steaming pile of RCEs, and at some point browsers made it opt-in. And even before that, the web didn't depend on it as much as it depends on JS now.
