Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

You’re familiar with older web and pre-web languages like JavaScript and Java. Did you know that you can use these well-known languages with Web3 technologies?

What the fuck is this? Since when is JavaScript not the main and almost the only programming language of the web, by usage?

And I remember when Java was actually used on the web.

PHP is probably still the main language of the web.

There was a question on here recently like "Please recommend an e-commerce web application which doesn't use JavaScript" and the top response was "I don't understand what you're asking - how can you have a web application without JavaScript??‽"

It could be entirely server-side generated with PHP.

I’m not sure why you don’t want to do that however. It seems unnecessarily limiting.

I'd rather forget...

And if you work in a corpo, this memory might sadly be pretty fresh.

I should have forgotten, and the memory would be garbage collected, but it ended up leaking anyway.
