We should be careful not to make *too* close a comparison.
While Javascript is a necessary evil for web applications and
some people do like it, I get the feeling that it's becoming
less and less liked. It's not quite a fractal of bad design
like PHP, but it has more than a few drastic shortcomings and
design flaws.
The moment webasm becomes a realistic target, I will do
EVERYTHING in my power to get Lua in the browser (yes there
already is solutions).
Stuff Javascript, kill it, replace it with something actually
properly designed!
Why not D? And why wait till it's a realistic target? Wasm is
clearly going to be the answer and it's an answer to a problem
that exists, so what does one gain by waiting?
