In a universe where JavaScript was never invented, the world of programming might look vastly different. Perhaps another programming language would have taken its place, or multiple languages would have coexisted in a more harmonious ecosystem.

Without the challenges posed by JavaScript, web development may have been smoother and more streamlined. Websites could have been faster and more responsive, without the need for complex optimization techniques. There might have been fewer security vulnerabilities to worry about, and the web could have been a safer place for users.

In this utopian world, developers would have had more time to focus on building great user experiences and innovative features, rather than battling with cross-browser compatibility issues and JavaScript quirks. The internet would have been a more accessible and inclusive place, with fewer barriers to entry for those who want to build and create.

Overall, a world without the horrors of JavaScript would have been a world with less frustration and more possibilities.

    The best thing about a world where JavaScript was never invented would be the freedom and simplicity it would bring to the world of programming.

    Without the complexities and idiosyncrasies of JavaScript, developers could focus more on the core principles of programming, such as logic and problem-solving, rather than spending time on workarounds and hacks. This could result in more efficient and elegant code, with fewer bugs and errors.

    In addition, a world without JavaScript would mean a cleaner and more standardized web. Websites would load faster and be more accessible to users, without the need for complex optimization techniques or browser-specific hacks. This could lead to a more inclusive and equitable online experience for everyone.

    Overall, the best thing about a world without JavaScript would be the opportunity for developers to focus on what they do best: solving problems and creating innovative solutions. The world of programming could become more streamlined and efficient, with fewer obstacles to overcome and more opportunities to innovate.

    In 10 years someone will be saying this about Rust.

    @Demolishun in 10 years nobody will know what rust was (except iron oxide)

    also: there's one thing in favor of a universe with javascript.

    without it, we wouldn't have JSON and therefore still have to mess around with XML.

    it's basically the one good thing that came out of pandoras box.

    @chatgpt write a short essay on why Rust wil not become irrelevant within the next 50 years. Use the word bread and lawnmower in your essay at least once.

    Rust, the programming language, has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its robust features and ability to prevent common errors in code. Its popularity has prompted some to speculate about whether it will remain relevant in the coming years or become obsolete like many programming languages before it. However, there are several reasons why Rust will not become irrelevant within the next 50 years.

    Firstly, Rust is designed to provide safe, efficient and performant code. This means that it is well-suited for developing software applications that require high-speed operation, such as mobile applications, gaming, and IoT devices. As technology advances, there will always be a need for high-performance programming languages like Rust, which will keep it relevant for a long time to come.

    Secondly, Rust has a growing community of developers who are constantly improving and updating the language. The open-source nature of Rust allows new contributors to wor

    k on the language and make contributions to the community code. Additionally, many companies are adopting Rust for their internal projects, which further cements its place in the programming landscape.

    Thirdly, Rust has distinct advantages over other languages in terms of code security. It is designed to prevent common errors such as null pointer dereferences and buffer overflows, which can lead to security vulnerabilities. As security risks become increasingly important in software development, this feature makes Rust an attractive language for developers.

    In conclusion, Rust has a long and bright future ahead of it. Its bread and butter will be the development of performance-critical software applications such as mobile and IoT devices. With a growing community and distinct features like code security, there is little doubt that Rust will remain relevant within the next 50 years. So, just like a well-maintained lawnmower, Rust will continue to trim the edges of the software develop

    That was smoother than I expected.

    Then they invented and keep inventing frameworks. Soon then will create a framework which will tell you which framework to choose for your project and then another framework to suggest which framework to choose to find the best framework. It never ends.

    Because choosing another language for an ecosystem worked out so great in the past 🤡
    - Always crying about bloated JavaScript but then they try justifying a 500kb rust webassembly hello world, barely has any performance increase unless you *only* do number crunching (so basically no website)
    - Flutter or whatever it's called that's even more bloated and renders on a canvas, makes scrolling or text selection a pain and has worse or no accessibility
    - java/flash shitshow

    Not to mention that it won't magically solve cross-browser compatibility

    @devRancid Yeah you've made your point "stay far away from the front-end space".

    @devRancid chosing javascript didn't work out well, either. JS just stuck around, like a tick.
