After more than 27,000 people signed our open letter to Oracle about the “JavaScript” trademark, we filed a formal Cancellation Petition with the US Patent and Trademark Office. Ten months in, we’re finally reaching the crucial discovery phase. Deno initiated this petition since we have legal standing as a JavaScript runtime, but it’s really on behalf of all developers.

After all, people have been sounding the alarm for years that this approach to dependency management is reckless and dangero

Converting an online game to work without any JavaScript

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-31 08:39:15

Topics: #development Client-side rendering has become the dominant paradigm for building web apps. But frameworks like React can lead to major JavaScript execution bottlenecks during page load.

This lack of advancement, coupled with the rise of JavaScript libraries and frameworks that offer more flexible and powerful DOM manipulation, has led to a significant decline in the use of client-side XSLT. Its role within the web browser has been largely sup
