Ask HN: Unified web app development language
1 point by stoavio 6 years ago | 0 commentsI started wondering if anyone had endeavored to simplify this by creating a browser-based language/framework/ecosystem that marries the functionalities of all of these languages or frameworks into a single language. I found "The Links Programming Language" but that isn't mature enough although conceptually it is close to what I am looking for. The Eve programming language looked like it might fit the bill someday but unfortunately it didn't make it. The Livecode Web App extension is also kind of close but the documentation claims it isn't production ready.
Basically, I am picturing something that makes use of proven technologies (for example: Python, SQL, Bootstrap, Angular, NodeJS, etc.) but abstracts the complexity of each into a unified notation that sits atop the technology stack.
I know that there are visual programming tools out there but those have their own unique set of limitations that I imagine something like this may not face. Is this crazy thinking? Does such a thing exist or is in development?
