I wish death upon it, but it just won't die. I guess that's cuz it's the only frontend. Or at least the only frontend that allows DOM manipulation.
That's exactly it. Every single webapp in the world has some level of javascript in it.
thanks to wasm any language is a browser running language. JS is relegated to some token binding boilerplate as part of any framework and with things like servo/tauri rendering html will be pure rust

Theoretically yes, practically you may have to deliver a whole runtime depending on the languagey making websites even bigger and slower to load initially. And unless it's a webapp with data processing on the client the perceived performance benefits may be negligible.
Noob question here. What's DOM manipulation?
Document ObjectModel. Think using code to add a JavaScript to make a drodown menu appear like for a navigation bar. That would be manipulation. And I think there's so much more Angular and React do with DOM that I don't know enough to explain it.
wonder when Rust will saturate it's niche as a C/C++ replacement, I'd guess 3-6 years would be when we might start to see some stabilization.
I think it will take much longer than that. There is so much legacy C++ code. Maybe 10-15 years.
