    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.

      I’d rather forget…

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

      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 was like everyone has forgotten about HTTP POST.

        It could be entirely server-side generated with PHP.

        I’m not sure why a person would want to do that however. It seems unnecessarily limiting.
