In this episode we discuss web components and their potential to revolutionize the web. Web components have been around for a while and aim to provide a standardized way of authoring front-end JavaScript, but they never really took off due to the missing parts of the spec. We explore various types of web components, the issues with JavaScript, and the challenges in picking the right approach to create a web component.
