A Thank You! for making this happen...
Hi, I am Vedran. 👋

History of FE web dev in 1 slide
TypeScript "fixes everything"
BTW we were talking FE dev only...
Backends are happily sandboxed in their runtimes, compilers, interpreters...
What if we standardised the runtime in the browser?
WebAssembly (.wasm)
01 instruction format for a stack-based VM
Open Standard
development!
compile C/C++/Rust into .wasm
Efficient, fast, safe and debuggable
Has JS interop in/out
How fast?
~1.67x faster than JS on MBP 2015 testing a
GameBoy emulator as a testing app in Dec 2018
More precisely cca 125 vs cca 90 frame rendering rate
What if we compile a C++ based backend VM runtime into .wasm? 🔥
e.g. C# .NET CLR into .wasm? Why not!
...and then you get Blazor
- which is a .NET (VM runtime) in the browser
- which is you writing C# and running in browser
- which is reusing a huge and healthy ecosystem
- constantly improving
- open source on GitHub
- community growing
- works with the latest open source .NET Core framework
- works with the latest C# language features
- and you can interop with JS
- and you can rebuild JS patterns such as Redux in it
- and you get a type system from C#
- and you get shared business logic and model data...
How does it work?
But it works "ServerSide" only also
OK Mr. Microsoft, so boring... 😴
demo please! 😎

Full-Stack web dev without JavaScript!?
Let me tell you why modern web development is gnarly and what could the future of it look like if drastically change how we build the web with the help of WebAssembly.
