Oops. Yes html 5

XHTML was going to be so awesome. And then HTML 4 happened. :(

You ok? Looks like you just spaced out there for a solid minute

Corn syrup and water.

All I remember about vbscript was that array indexes started at 1.

I love typescript, especially for larger projects and libraries.

It’s missing a lot of things that people really care about (with good reason) like static typing. But I think a lot of dislike also comes from it being more of a functional programming language and not object oriented. I like it because it’s like scheme or lisp but with a C like syntax that I find easier to read. I also like that I can do dynamic stuff with websites. In some ways it’s the perfect scripting language for the web. Just as messy and unpredictable as html.

Yeah, true

I mean that is the first step. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ The next step is to start defining the types more strictly than any.

I like that Safari is not Chrome, since Apple’s core business isn’t search ads/tracking. I don’t like that WebKit is kind of the IE 6 of iPhones (only option and hard to develop against) I don’t use Firefox much, it’s always kind of been a mess (did they ever move on from XUIL or whatever it was called?). But Firefox is open source for real and I hope it can continue to be a very viable option.

I work on marketing websites which are essentially disposable. So every 3 years you start over from scratch (in a new version of some CMS). So I don’t get to build super cool functionality much, but I do get to work with newer tech stack. (I still don’t need 99.99% of the js frameworks flavors of the week)

WebKit. It’s all WebKit.
