And WASM will absolutely never replace normal JS in the browser. It’s a completely different use case. It’s awesome and has a great niche, but it’s not really intended for normal web page management use cases.
While I overall agree that JS / TS isn’t likely to be replaced, Microsoft’s Blazor project is interesting conceptually … Write C# webpages and have it compile down to WASM for more performance than JS could offer.
Interesting, yeah. I inherited a Blazor project though and have nothing positive to say about it really. Some of it is probably implementation, but it’s a shining example of how much better it is to choose the right tool for the job, rather than reinventing the wheel. For a while I was joking about setting the whole project “ablazor” until we finally decided to go back to a React/C# ASP.NET stack. If you’re thinking of using Blazor still, though, I think two fun things to look into are “linting issues with Blazor” and “Blazor slow”.
I’ve heard people praise it, but they tend to be those who consider themselves backend devs that occasionally get stuck making frontends.
