   javascript isnt even bad as a concept pal its the web browsers that are really fucking bad. screenshot this post, hang it on a wall or something idk man, im genuinely correct. the web is an alright concept actually if you try not to be an elitist know-it-all faggot, but with horrible execution on the implementers part. and a group of free thinking individuals will hold up signs saying that "JS is le bad xdDDDD" but not quite, its that nobody uses JS right you fucking retard. alongside that, what people do with JS shouldn't be bad. Chromium is the only browser doing JS sanely that I know but while chunking a fuck ton of memory at it. JS is fine nowadays, browsers are just awful. hate the web, but hate the web browsers even more

     @ne @getimiskon i think ladybird (https://github.com/SerenityOS/ladybird) has potential
     
     it can be infuriating because serenity uses discord so one of their main goals is to get discord to work
     some devs logs are literally just making discord vaguely more functional
     one of the dev logs was hours long for discord to go from a blank screen to a solid gray, nothing worked but it did load some stuff

     @getimiskon It is a lot of work at the surface, but it's not theoretically impossible. It may be impossible to compete with Firefox or Chromium today, as they're their own beasts, but making a fully functional web engine and drawing that shit is perfectly possible

     @ne I really agree with what you said. Web has really gone to shit because of all the shitty implementations on it. Also I hate every single browser as well. Too much feature creep, to such an insane degree that's almost impossible to make an entirely new browser from scratch and make it actually work.

     you negroids realize that we don't actually have to use CSS, right? You negroids realize that Javascript doesn't even have to be the primary language, right? everything about the web was designed to be independent from it's designers, but everyone else siphoned on it the wrong way and fucked it all up
     
     Web browsers could do more with ease, but everyone is american when it comes to software development and doesn't bother

     @Paulo @ne @getimiskon I think Opera used the similar approach of getting specific sites to work foremost instead of focusing on strictly implementing the standard. This eventually led to a hard time keeping Presto up to date with current set of standards, prompting devs to make Opera another Chrome clone instead.
     Either way, a browser built from scratch that actually supports modern web is hella impressive, especially when comparing it to, say, Dillo or Netsurf. Tried it right now, it did render the single-page application that is Pleroma-FE, to a varying degree of success depending on FE version.

     @getimiskon @Paulo @ne I'm having trouble logging in, but if I didn't, I see no reason why it shouldn't.
