The internet is a great tool that has made massive changes in our society. And because its such massive tool its hard to change things about it. This video aims to encourage web developers to use some of the new not fully supported technologies that are out there. There is a stigma about using these technologies because they're not as open and transparent as some other older technologies. The dogmatic allegiance to open internet standards should be reconsidered.
Great video - very well done! The language to language compilation piece is an answer to many of the reservations that I would have (as a developer) in moving away from open standards.
ReplyDeleteMy question is - if you can convert from one language to the other, that implies that they have the same capabilities. Why would we change to an unknown tool from a familiar one if there are no further capabilities offered by those tools?
For one consider the advantages of a statically vs dynamically typed language for a developer. Its easier to develop in because IDEs can be smarter about helping you out and errors are faster to catch. Though the language to language compilation doesn't carry over the static types the developer has still been helped in the development process. Research dart or typescript for more advantages in using these tools.
