Would you rather submit a form on a slow website but which has a good user interface, or a fast "website" which requires you to submit JSON using CURL?
Strong-typed inherently safe compiled language: "False"
Well, yes, JavaScript is full of quirks one needs to learn in order to use it effectively. I am not saying JavaScript is a good programming language. That's why there is WebAssembly, so that you can run programming languages better than JavaScript in the front-end. And I made a compiler for my programming language targetting WebAssembly. However, I did not use it for my PicoBlaze assembler and emulator because of two reasons:
- It was important for me that my PicoBlaze assembler and emulator works in Firefox 52.9.0 ESR, in which WebAssembly is disabled. Namely, many computers at my university are running Windows XP and are using Firefox 52.9.0 ESR as the browser.
- I suspected that, if I use WebAssembly, I will run into problems with communication between WebAssembly and JavaScript. So I will just be replacing problems with JavaScript with a new set of problems.
