What's the state of the art for doing #geo processing in #javascript in the browser?
e.g. I have a ~60km GPX file, ~100 points, and I wanna know the nearest distance of each point to the line.
I know exactly how to do this in postgis, or even by hand. I know basic JS. How can I do this in JS on a webpage? (pref. non nodejs)
@spacekookie I am trying to resist the siren song of finally learning rust & wasm.
@spacekookie OTOH I have been burned by the trainwreck of nodejs/npm packaging, so WHY NOT SOLVE IT PROPERLY! :)
@amapanda "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."
@amapanda Well not with that attitude
