Ask HN: Why didn't the early web support more client side languages? 18 by dcminter | 46 comments on Hacker News. Disclaimer: I'm a backender so I may have this all wrong :) The script element in HTML has provided the language property since its introduction, though nowadays it is deprecated in favour of the type attribute. But the browser-supported languages seems to have been almost entirely Javascript and VBScript. Given that Javascript is considered to be an at best quirky [0] language (justifiably given its 10 day gestation) how come the browser ecosystem never expanded to accommodate more direct scripting languages - particularly in the early days when Javascript libraries were rare beasts? As I remember it Javascript was deeply unpopular with devs until libraries like JQuery came along to make things a little less painful. Was it the baleful influence of IE6 or some other winner-takes-all effect or what? [0] https://ift.tt/3BVOdKd

Launch HN: Swipe (YC S21) – Simple Billing and Accounting for India 7 by sri-teja | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, we’re Aditya and Sri Teja, founders of Swipe ( https://getswipe.in ). We make it easy for local businesses in India to invoice their customers over WhatsApp. Instead of giving a paper invoice to their customer, Swipe users send a WhatsApp message with a link that allows them to pay instantly with a variety of payment methods. We were building software and IoT for industrial automation before we started working on this. We dealt with a lot of invoices, purchase orders and estimates for different customers/vendors on a daily basis. We used to manually make invoices on spreadsheets and store them locally on our computers. Initially, it was working fine but as we got more sales it started to get difficult to manage. On top of that, we had to file monthly tax returns where we would manually consolidate our sales on spreadsheets and send them to our accountant for filing. ...
