So a strictly typed language.. I think those already exist.
If there was an easy way to use rust or something on webassemly and use that instead of JS. I'd be so happy, but I can't find how to do it without npm.
Rust would probably be the wrong tool here. This is scripting, so pointers like Rust is built around aren't really meaningful. Kotlin or Python or something are more on the ticket.
Websites have grown beyond mere scripting.
Rust is about more than just nicer pointers, it has a very expressive type system that enables correctness rarely seen outside FP.
Parts of them, yeah. WASM in Rust makes total sense.
If you say so. I'd suggest Haskell, but it doesn't work very naturally with interactivity, either user or intersystem.
