Are any JavaScript developers excited for Blazor?

no.

never heard of it.

First I'm hearing of this project. It sounds cool, but I fear it will eventually die of neglect like every previous attempt to use !JS in the browser. Maybe if Microsoft pushes it heavily with their first-party sites?

It looks interesting and should find a niche in LoB apps. The runtime is much to big for consumer facing apps.

Why would they be? Isn't Blazor a framework for C# to replace JS with WASM?

I am not interested in frameworks generally.

So you have to distribute the entire mono runtime with each individual Blazor app? And you're running your app code through not just one but two virtual machines (Mono, then WASM)? No, I can't say I'm too excited about that.

I'm not interested in many client-side frameworks. The reference to Silverlight gives a clue as to who it may be targeting.

> Unlike former platforms like Silverlight, it does not bring its own rendering engine to paint pixels on the screen. Blazor uses the Browser’s DOM to display data.

Nope

It's essentially front end coding for non front end Microsoft stack developers. Expect convoluted enterprise apps written in it.

If anyone would be interested it would be c# dotnet developers

WASM will be cool when you can start writing Python, Go, Rust, or Clojure on the front end. Until then, I don't see anyone trying to make their lives more painful by running something like Java or C# on the front end.
