Blazor will die like Sliverlight. Just learn HTML, CSS and Javascript.

Yeah, I'm very wary about putting all my eggs in Microsoft's basket after what I've seen.

They have a pretty extensive history of encouraging everyone to get on the wagon only to drive it straight into the nearest ditch. You can't trust a company that competes with its own customers.

I know all three, and I'm not seeing it dying any time soon. WebAssembly is not going anywhere, neither are dynamic back-end systems. I have drastically less issues with my front-end while using Blazor compared to just doing raw JavaScript. I've built everything from a PWA from scratch using Vanilla JS, to an iFrame Frenzy web app a client paid us top dollar to build.

Silverlight was proprietary, Blazor is MIT licensed and using open web technologies that are NOT going anywhere any time soon. We just had another major upgrade to Web Assembly's spec not that long ago.

So what? It is just another tool in the toolbox. A tool that someone already invested in webdev can pick up in a week or two.
