Yep, PHP is turning 30 this year! Wondering if "PHP is still relevant?" Ever since we have been hearing that PHP is dead. It was “dead” 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and “is dead” today. But somehow - it isn’t. Anyway... happy birthday!

Wasm cannot modify the DOM iirc

I've toyed with WASM, creating a simple sudoku page, and it did take an empty page, added all the buttons, and then changed them upon user interaction.

I think, I also heard of the DOM modification limitations, but it's not a hard barrier afaik, there are just some cases where it can't

But still, doing something in (pure) WASM looks way harder than needed to me
