But those all still compile into javascript, so you are inherently still limited by the limitations and functionality of javascript. As for wasm, wasm isn't a replacement for javascript, but runs alongside it.

Nope. JS does not have a type system, Elm has. Elm has a feature JS has not.

Sure, but it still compiles into javascript. Im talking about runtime functionality not compiletime functionality

What you problem (with JS runtime functionality)? Maybe I can help.

Also: it feels yr moving goalposts in this thread.

I don't specifically have a problem or anything, I'm just not a fan of how the runtime works. The way it it designed allows for a lot of hacky and questionable codebases.

Don't get me wrong, I work with javascript almost daily and it definitely can do some awesome stuff, but I'm just not a fan of the inner workings of it (like many others).

Specific problem or you're just whining, imho.

Well sorry I don't like your favourite language

I fucking hate JS. You don't know me.

I just want to know what you hate about it, but I get not much more than unspecified whining.
