If demand *for SSW* to use Blazor is overtaking JS, then I'd believe it. I saw the statement made.
I've never met a living person who uses Flutter, or the Dart language for that matter. It would be a brave decision to choose that as a development platform for the future. Does MAUI generate browser hosted web apps? I didn't think it was made for that purpose, but maybe it does. I haven't looked yet. If you don't want to use a JavaScript framework, then Webassembly is the future. I see there is a proposal to take JavaScript out of the stack so that Wasm can talk directly to the browser DOM, which I think would be a great leap forward because the JS layer is an utterly useless link in the chain. Then we can finally consign JavaScript to the rubbish bin of history where it belongs. *GK* On Fri, 8 Sept 2023 at 12:47, Tony Wright via ozdotnet < ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> wrote: > I agree.
