Unfortunately, it's not 90's enough, as it still requires fucking javascript.

Would you like to add more dependencies on server-side code for this decentralized project?

This is one of the (admittedly few) cases where javascript is actually required.

Of course it is, Javascript is what allows us to run significant code on the browsers without extensions or plugins or downloaded apps/peers, and its amazing how far its come as a language in the last few years. WebAssembly would probably work as well, but was far less developed when we started this project last year.
