Ask HN: Have we hit peak JavaScript?
2 by dosy | 0 comments on Hacker News.
There was a peak .NET, peak Java, and peak C++. JS adoption has exploded, but the language is nearly mature (with TS unlikely to be merged into TC-39 except as optional extra.) Web-Assembly, Rust, Go, are all new and, as much as I enjoy JS, better languages. Not to mention indomitable C. Is JS as universal platform an idea whose time has come, or whose time has passed?
