Microsoft should allocate a thousand people to this project, blazor combined all of the best things in software development and pushed it even further!!
It seems to me there will be some merging or cross over between blazor and xaml. Either way it's exciting I have just started using blazor and even though its easier to use angular or react currently, knowing there is a lot of long term plans gives me a lot of faith!
Is Blazor actually faster than Javacript? How does it compare to WASM in general? I mean, since it is running the full mono framework in the browser I think there would be a performance hit?
@Sebastian Olaf Yes it was. But like Dan mentioned, there was a team that took the original implementation and got it running on on top of mono. After that was done it went from a "What If" project to a real thing that could be leveraged in the future and of course that means supported and a proper product. Now I don't work for MS so all this could be entirely wrong, but I have been using/following dotnet core since the early DNX days.
I don't understand the hype behind it. I don't think any browser currently support the C#. Browser vendors will have to include another language to their support. This is nothing but another attempt my Microsoft to start another browser war and make developers write in C# which will be out-of-box supported by their browser only. This is going to end like IE. I don't deny the great work done by Microsoft on typescript, but this does not make much sense.
