web is a place where competing implementations are perceived as a sign of openness and the lack of competing standards as sign of freedom.

@wycats@_jayphelps Dart could be an example, but you can replace it with anything. Lua, Python, Ruby, etc.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@wycats@_jayphelps I don't think I confuse anything. Right now there are tons of people "wanting to use X" but "having to use JS" -
@mraleph@wycats@_jayphelps "tons"? Are you implying a majority? Seems wrong. People have other languages that transpile anyway, right? -
@mraleph@wycats@_jayphelps I'm sorry, this whole thread is strange. JS is supported by every browser and therefore the web isn't open? -
@BenLesh@mraleph@_jayphelps Not only is JS supported by every browser, but asm.js is not in any interesting way "bound to JS".

@wycats@_jayphelps e.g. I can use Dart and I do use Dart instead of JS. but it could be easier to use it, if web was less JS-tyranic -
@mraleph@_jayphelps Who do you think is "JS-tyranic". The JS people I know are working hard to evolve towards safe, native code. -
@wycats@_jayphelps 1) I maintain that the decision to even bind this to JS is wrong 2) I am not interested in running C++ in the browser.
