The JavaScript ecosystem is made worse by the legions of “developers” in it which amount to bro-velopers that put no thought into if something is needed before they create it. There’s a strong overlap between the idiots in crypto and JavaScript developers that needs to be decoupled drastically.
I forgot where I heard this, but at one point around the same time, Microsoft was trying to get BASIC embedded into webpages for Internet Explorer as a competitor to JavaScript.
What do you mean going to? Internet Explorer supported VBscript, which was a “competitor” to Javascript. Though being locked to ie was a hindrance to adoption. That, and it was based on vb.
Internet would be better if javascript was never invented.

Would the internet really be better with BASIC?

I’m going off memory. Pretty glad that never took off, even if what we were left with was Javascript…
