    It probably won’t get rid of js’s dominance, but it’ll give people options. I already see some front end python and rust frameworks thanks to wasm. But for some reason I really don’t like the idea of writing html / css in my rust. But I don’t like the idea of html / css in my rust.

      Yeah, I’m not sure if there are very good alternatives to that. Everything I’ve seen tends to go in that direction: markup language + stylesheet language. But HTML and CSS for sure aren’t the best.

      There’s HAML and Pug, which I did enjoy writing much more than HTML.

        I like flutter’s design where you do your markup and styling as code, and then it gets rendered via opengl. So you get that native performance without having to deal with the whole browser stack.

        I don’t like how almost all software these days is just web apps masquerading as native apps, but they’re just so damn easy to write compared to anything else.

          Yeah, we definitely need better UI frameworks with a clean and easy approach. So far, I’ve been enjoying Slint, but that’s also because I refuse to touch HTML/CSS/JS.
