Interesting, and it's an okay first step, but what we really need is an all-encompassing language that's designed around not needing to restart from scratch every time the user hits reload because the user won't need that feature. This would require that we have a completely new, from scratch, browser that looks nothing like Chrome or FireFox. It would almost need to be designed as a container for a virtual machine, but with the intention of being used like a word processor. If anyone remembers the Amaya web browser that the W3C put out, that'll give you an idea on how it might function for someone writing websites, but without the HTML, CSS and JS.

@JorgetePanete First, we're talking about a web only language. Second, Rust is a bad language. I won't say worst because Python, Java and C# exist. At one point in time Java was a web only language, but they seem to have gone off the rails with its design and it was always too bloated and verbose. So basically a streamlined JVM but with something more akin to C with some OO enhancements would be great.

@JorgetePanete If you're writing a web app, it'd be a good idea to use a language designed for the web. You shouldn't use one language for everything, you should use one for each paradigm. As for why Rust is bad, partly that's due to it's overall design, the tooling, the ideological constraints, and its attempt to be a cross-paradigm language.

@JorgetePanete If you're talking about P versus NP, no language can be completely checked. If you're not, then Java is an interpreted language, it just gets compiled to bytecode and then interpreted in that format. The same can and generally is done for other interpreted languages, just that the compilation step isn't always saved. Take Python, it gets compiled into bytecode before being run, but the bytecode is left on disk as a cache.

@JorgetePanete No, and that doesn't make any sense. Do you know what computability is?

@JorgetePanete Yes, with most languages you can use various language features to generate HTML or CSS or JS, and Rust doesn't make it any easier than using C, and especially not easier than C++, but that's not what it or they should be used for. We need a language which is purpose made for web usage, either making a generic website or a specific application. Preferably one that includes markup syntax of some kind as part of it. In other words, it should replace HTML/CSS/JS.
