Comment Comment by _Tev Why is JS bad at "what it tries to do"? I've honestly not seen answer in these discussions, even though everyone acts like they are obvious.From my experience main problems seem to be:1) poor static analysis of code, leading to bad Intellisense etc. - Mostly solved by TypeScript.2) DOM manipulation APIs. I don't see how Rust will help here. Especially considering JS frameworks solve this. I guess that's what's new in the OP.Otherwise JS serves as pretty good language for beginners/UI wiring.But thanks for at least describing some strengths (and weaknesses) of Rust when directly compared with JS. parent _Tev 8 years ago
