I think what we are all really questioning about is: how many times can it be rewritten in Rust?

Didn’t manage to close the cookie banner before the intro started playing on top of it on my mobile screen. Great “experiment”, Google.

deno is refreshing, but i don't like the fact that it is married with typescript and has built-in support for this and that library. should've been framework agnostic from the start and not marketed as this batteries-included thing.

also, this creates more fragmentation in the node/web community which i don't really see the need for. being compatible with node/npm just carries with it the warts and problems instead of getting rid of them.

will this get rid of the dreaded cookie popup dialog?

or is that GDPR nonsense still going to make those persist?

ah, the old web vs java discussion. "why does the browser not come with all the components i want built-in, having the exact look n feel that my OS has?". "i have to actually write code to get a popup?". "markup language? style sheets?? bollocks!". "surely, java is more mature and will enable me to make better apps, in less time". "it's running on a JVM, didn't you know?". "so it's more performant".

ok. js css html won the web platform. and they have an increasing piece of native. oops! this is not a random trend, but for a good reason.

java for GUIs is not going to be popular again. it's already been tested and it failed the test.

the old timer java mindset still wants the web but it does not want to learn web.

working with the web is not a "hack", nor is the DOM only suitable for representing "documents". you left in 1995 and failed to catch up with modern standards. it's a flexible system, but does not come with all the batteries. but to counterweigh that it has a massive ecosystem, a package manager with plenty of off the shelf parts, if you want them. performancewise, the browser engines are getting faster and faster every day, optimised for rendering. v8 is hugely successful natively. the DOM is very suitable as a generic GUI model to work with. back in 1995 it was not.

wake up Java devs. your arguments are getting increasingly flaky..

localization problem? i believe that is an invented problem. why would anyone write code in his/her native language?

but, there is no harm in getting an extra b12 dose for meat consumers as well! plant-based milks are not meant only for plant-eaters (to put it simply) they are of course meant for everyone

yes, i forgot to add "anthropogenic" to climate change. ie – this climate change is the direct result of human activity

grow human organs inside rats and? how does that work? i don't understand. meanwhile we are entering the sixt mass extinction event caused by a massive climate change. what good is this technology when you have failing crops, extreme weather, no electricity and mass immigration at your doorstep?

apparently we are currently on version 3 of the web?
