Eniko (moved ➡ gamedev.place)Can we just like, build a new protocol for an alternative web? Maybe something that's way easier/more accessible to create sites for? Cause it's starting to look like http is an evolutionary dead end since it got taken over by megacorps

@eniko if we do can we please use a language that is Not Javascript that actually makes sense
@catgirlQueer *uses lua*
@eniko at the bare minimum lua doesn't try to do as much type juggling, but really it should be a statically typed language

@catgirlQueer @eniko a statically typed vm where a language could just compile to it, or have its own runtime on top of the vm, sounds nicer.
Nasado@nasado @catgirlQueer @eniko yes but that as the base for clientside scripting, rather than just some kind of extension.
@SRAZKVT @catgirlQueer @eniko Absolutely agree, JS was a mistake for several dozen reasons. Just pointing out that there's no need to design and implement a new VM from scratch.

@eniko @catgirlQueer Omg coming back here because I went to go look at hosting a Gemini page for fun and found some server software that allows for inline lua and remembered i saw this in the replies lmao
