Size and Performance for large web-apps presumably. For example, Figma which is currently wiping Sketch's face on the floor is written in C++ and compiled to WASM. https://medium.com/javascript-in-plain-english/made-with-webassembly-e…

I find it actually improves a number of websites (an increasing number), which may be more of a comment on the number of front-end devs who seem to be able to construct a website that degrades properly without javascript.
I also can't make Lynx and Wget into a more graphical form with just a couple of clicks, and there are other reasons reasons to disable CSS[1][2] but each to their own.

Just do a search for “use TypeScript with Node”:

Basically, you install the `typescript` package which gives you `tsc`. Then you configure Node to run your program with `tsc` through your package.json.

Vue seems very similar to react[1]. Anyone know why vue is seeing a big swing in adoption when we already have react? Maybe because it's built into laravel[2]? Some other reason?
