This is the eternal browserbros. attempt to make us think native has zero value now that we have a completely captured and bloated browser.

The browser is dead, the only thing you can use it for is filling out HTML forms and maybe some light inventory management.

The final app is C+Java where you put the right stuff where it is needed. Just like the browser used to be before Oracle did it's magic on the applet.

Yea. Nah!

That obit is a bit premature

So you're telling me you write Java professionally?

[pdpi]

Funnily enough, in a world with WASM, we might actually have Java in the backend and C in the frontend rather than vice versa as it would've been likelier in the 90s.

The irony of half world backed by VC money, trying to reinvent Erlang, Java and .NET application servers, while pretending to be innovative.

WASM is adding GC... recreating the wheel of the applet but without escaping the problem of javascript glue.

Go is just Java without the WM.

Rust is just a native compiler that creates slow programs and complains a lot.

Good morning Troll

I'll give you "complains a lot."

Corrective upvote from me - the comment is too funny

[junon]

You had me all the way up until the rust bit.

It's pretty much the only professional language you can write.

If you consider respect and responsibility.
