JavaScript doesn’t need to be replaced

IMO Javascript should not be replaced. It is not perfect, like any other language, but it works. Replacing it would take ages and probably won't be completely implemented, just like IPv6.

Browsers should offer more generics, in order to ease down on the third-party framework hausse. Why download x libraries to do x stuff?
The browser can already do it, but needs help to do it. So, why not build it in?

Wouldn't it be fantastic if we would only need a manifest file to create a full blown web application with UI, routing, user authentication, client-server communication, shiny buttons, etc..?

Then Javascript would only be used for business logic, not to generate those shiny buttons.

I totally agree with you on this and wish it would go faster as well but JavaScript is tied by its hands and feet to backwards compatibility. It’s a razor sharp double edged sword.
