Funny enough I just watched this talk last night by the creator of HTMX

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRrrxQXWdhI

He mentions that "With HTMX we use a little bit of JavaScript so that we don't have to use any JavaScript."

We already did in favor of TypeScript.

Typescript is a bandaid.

We need improved DOM access for web assembly, followed by a new icon in the URL bar that indicates you're on a "legacy" site if it's using javascript (my vote is for a cute snail emoji)

We should make more bandaids like this, taking over big chunks of the programming world.

Google-affiliated Carbon looks awesome (to fix often-hated C++).

What I like is that they have skin the game (sunk cost of millions LOC of C++ to maintain) to make it highly interopable.
