History of Blazor

Blazor lets you build interactive web user interface components using C# instead of JavaScript. Blazor is supported on all modern browsers.

JavaScript and friends

Traditionally, any code that needs to be executed in a web browser must be written using the JavaScript programming language or a higher-level technology that transpiles (transforms or compiles) into JavaScript. This is because all browsers have supported JavaScript for over two decades, so it is the lowest common denominator for implementing business logic in the client.

JavaScript does have some issues, however. Although it has superficial similarities to C-style languages like C# and Java, it is actually very different once you dig beneath the surface. It is a dynamically typed pseudo-functional language that uses prototypes instead of class inheritance for object reuse. It might look human, but you will get a surprise when it’s revealed to be a Skrull.
