Mozilla has been promoting the use of WASM for years, they had the Iodide project which give birth to the popular Pyodide project. On the other hand, HTMX is gaining attraction last year and is favoured by some Django devs.

First we would explore the history of WASM and the Iodide project, what they enable and the closing of the Iodide project. Then we will talk about the rise of the Pyodide project and what this project enables - including another popular framework - PyScript. There will be some quick code demo of both Pyodide and PyScript.

Then, we will switch our attention to HTMX, what's the idea behind it and how it can be used to access AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server-Sent Events directly in HTML. There will also be some code demos of how to use HTMX, especially using it together with Django.

Last, there will be a conclusion, do we want more backend or more frontend? And most importantly, will web developers ever need to write JavaScript anymore?
