These are random thought I just wrote on twitter in the morning(UTC+7): "I kinda think that there were no front-end languages actually. It's kinda all about web platform & browsers can't do things out of the box." "Graphic interface shouldn't execute program on its own rather than rendering string on _platform_ which won't bother more." "This is partly why people delegate js rendering to server. At the end of the day all script should be just WebAssembly bytecodes sent down." "Browser should act as physical rendering object like pure monitor screen. User shouldn't have to inspect photon or write photon generators." "SPA or PWA is just that about network request reduction, and how much string wanted to send at a time & today http/2 can help that a lot." "Project like Drab https://github.com/grych/drab 's been doing quite well to move compu

tation back to "server" (opposite to self-service client)" "WebAssembly compromise (to complement js) to implement the platform. JS api and WebAssembly should be merged or united." "VirtualDom as if it is a right way should be built-in just like DOM get constructed from html _string_ from server. All JS works must die." "That's how WebComponent went almost a half way of fulfilling web platform. It is unfortunate js has gone far, tools are actively building on" "I'd end this now before some thought of individualism-ruining-the-platform take over. That's not gonna be something i'd like to write (now)" ----- Not a complete version though. Kind of general speaking but I've been thinking in detail a bit. Then hours later I found this thread.
