Hi HN! HyperMap is a new standard for REST APIs that supports client-side code execution. That means the server can send JavaScript or WebAssembly to the client to run locally. Thi…

The question still remains: what should the standard look like? And I think right now there’a not enough agreement on what the Web should be to make standardisation effective.
