JavaScript. I can't think of anything else that can be used for everything. It's a back-end language, a front-end language, it can be used for styling and animation, it can be an OOP language or a scripting language, and can make database queries & submissions. Is there another language that is as versatile for website development? I can't think of one.
Yeah Rust can do all of those things as well, JavaScript is obviously much more common.
I love rust but this requires killing the web app and using basic html. which i'm also pro.
Well, not quite, since Rust got WebAssembly support quite early.
Web assembly isn't quite the same as a js frontend though, is it?
It's typically for complex single page apps and has some weirdness with normal usecases, no?
I could be wrong but I was looking into it a few months ago and it seemed immature.
Yes, it's largely for SPAs, but you said "requires killing the web app", and most web apps are SPAs.
I should take another look into it. Thanks!
