Yup. The libraries underneath will still allow nonsense at runtime, though, and it will now be harder to see, so it's a partial solution as done in standard practice.

An all-TypeScript stack, if you could pull it off, would be the way to go.

So a strictly typed language.. I think those already exist.

If there was an easy way to use rust or something on webassemly and use that instead of JS. I'd be so happy, but I can't find how to do it without npm.

It's in alpha, but there is a Kotlin to wasm compiler in the works.

Does WASM do DOM manipulation nowadays?

[–] ObstreperousCanadian@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't look like it, unfortunately. But it's planned. Kotlin can also compile to JavaScript with DOM manipulation. I've not tried either scenario, myself.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

Kotlin -> JavaScript would work. I assume there must be a Python version of that as well.

I can't wait for the day I can use something like Kotlin to write Frontend code. Maybe there'll be something like vue or react build on it

You could use Java ages ago and it was, very rightly so, abandoned.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You meanbJavaFX? Yeah the web version of it never was great

[–] rooroo@feddit.de 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Even worse, I’m old enough to have used GWT at some point.

Just use javascript and don’t try to add {} to [].

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

Well, you never try to.
