04/17/2019, 10:33 PMthe best part about JS is the VMs that run it incredibly fast, so it's not a bad target actually - b

04/17/2019, 10:34 PMbut there's a reason TypeScript is popular, and it's not that JS is good 😄 - b

04/17/2019, 10:34 PMmeh, even TS isnt a big turn on to me - b

04/17/2019, 10:34 PMyes, it's still very JS-y - b

04/17/2019, 10:35 PMwhich I think was necessary for it to take off, to be just familiar enough - b

04/17/2019, 10:36 PMthe problem is why would i want to run a programming language made for web browsers outside of a web browser - b

04/17/2019, 10:36 PMI mean, ideally it shouldn't run in the browser either 😄 - b

04/17/2019, 10:38 PMthe fact that web assembly exists explains we are reverting mistakes, but have to maintain nonsense backwards compatibility - b

04/17/2019, 10:41 PMthe best part is that js's days are numbered, the second best part is it will have zero effect on haxeui (on topic!) - a

04/17/2019, 10:43 PM@bright-gpu-74537 what makes you think js days are numbered? - a

04/17/2019, 10:43 PM@ambitious-knife-25690 : that engineers are actively trying get away from it - b

04/17/2019, 10:43 PMsadly I doubt wasm is going to kill it completely too - b

04/17/2019, 10:44 PMthings just seem to be getting more welcoming to js than opposed to it - b
