- marcosdumay 10y agoAnd several projects already are compiling to it. But it is not neat, what makes those projects less reliable and featurefull. Often enough for people to say "fuck it!" and go back to JS. If WebAssembly takes too long, I can see JS compilers getting very good, but it's looming availability is discouraging that.

Because having an extra compile step or language to learn is inconvenient no matter what you target. > If WebAssembly takes too long, I can see JS compilers getting very good, but it's looming availability is discouraging that. I haven’t seen any of this.
