Compared to the Blazor tooling, the Typescript tooling is miles ahead imo. We did a Blazor app during a hackathon and I was pretty frustrated with how inconsistent the build errors were with blazor components.

What makes me most skeptical about Blazor though, is that it's shifting a huge burden to the client just to make developers happy. Even if the runtime is stripped down and compiled to wasm, it seems kinda wild to send a whole runtime just so you can run C# code, especially when there's alternatives like Rust that require no runtime.

What's funnier too, is that it's been possible to write F# on the frontend for a while now, compiling down to javascript (like clojurescript). It makes me wonder why this approach was never done with C# too, even if there are pitfalls in compiling to javascript.
