Essentially the same html/css rendering of Firefox or Chromium, still able to access the www, but with javascript fully removed for another language that can be interpreted - like python or lua. Is this feasible?

    Typescript doesn’t run on the browser. But I’m pretty sure we will see native typescript soon. At this point, TS is practically the industry standard for developing serious JavaScript.

      I dunno, I don’t see the benefit to native TS in the browser. For compatibility, all sites will continue to serve JS, so what does TS gain anyone? And there is no performance benefit, maybe a performance hit given none of the type validation can happen until all of the scripts have downloaded, so execution can’t begin until that has happened?

      I could be way off on this though, I’m not a webdev :/
