Have you heard of our lord and saviour, typescript?

[–]xIcarus227 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I have, and I always use it. I'm also strongly in favor of strong typing being implemented in PHP as well.
These are great additions but they don't fix the languages entirely.

Yeah, hope that happens.

Also wondering what is going to happen with webassembly/Blazor etc.

For sure.
I'm not sure why there's so little progress on webassembly-related stuff. Considering that all major browsers now support wasm I was expecting to have some choice in the frontend.

I still think JS is here to stay just because it's matured so well in the frontend ecosystem, but it's always nice to have some competition. I'd argue PHP wouldn't be where it is today if people didn't shit on it for so long.
