Yeah right :) I'll tell you what I like about it.

I defined my database models in Typescript[1], work with them in the backend, send them to the frontend, and deserialize them back to the same Typescipt model classes in the browser and continue working with them ( w/o the actual database part) as data structures.

Are you trying to convince me this is bad ? Because I definitely don't believe you :)

That exactly what you shouldn't do, database models should not be the same models than the one sent to the client.

Any examples? Given that WASM can't manipulate the DOM, I'm suspicious of this claim.

There is blazor that does this in C#.
