Please please please can we just use type safe languages.
Agreed. Just the idea of finally replacing JS with something only to be another of those "dynamic" languages makes me want to puke.
Asking genuinely as someone who knows not much about this subject, is typescript not already an option? Isn’t it just type safe js that gets interpreted as js?
I think if the idea is to replace js, it should be a superset language at the interpreter level. I.e. the interpreter can run js, but valid js wouldn't work with the compiler. It makes it a drop-in replacement without harming legacy
WebAssembly is the target, not js, I believe.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
