Aren’t we past that point?

VS Code is Electron based and it can even be deployed in the cloud. We are talking about one of the most popular IDEs.

Interesting take!

Yep, that’s a good reason. I guess dot files should also be downloaded from github just like extensions. Makes this stuff a lot easier.

What about maintainability of large code bases? JS even with TS tacked isn’t so great or at least not as good as Rust.

My bad. I can’t find the actually video but there exits a startup that shutdown because Rust/WASM performance wasn’t any better on top of that it’s was harder to develop with Rust. But as my edit to my previous comment shows things got better for Rust. It’s no longer the case.

Isn’t installing KDE on it a task?

“It just works” in too vague but this is the correct answer for a lot of scenarios.

compose into some crazy one-liner piped chains of commands

Why not something that is completely redesigned from the ground up:

• https://www.nushell.sh/

IIRC a startup tried to exactly that… It’s wasn’t any faster and is actually harder to develop.

EDIT:

Sorry ignore these videos. I don’t remember which YouTube video it is. But more importantly Rust + WASM got really better than JS these days.

It’s working for me.
