Panel discussion: State of the Art: Web Platform
summary
Conversation reports concrete shifts: browsers reach parity so progressive web apps are practically deployable, state machines and Statecharts for UI logic show surprising bug reductions, Reason/OCaml compiles to many targets and promises one-code-for-many platforms, Rust plus WebAssembly devtools beat JS in benchmarks, and testing and visual tooling actually ship usable workflows. Watch if verification, multi-target compilation, or performance claims get demos and numbers; skip if it stays high-level and anecdotal.
