If WebAssembly becomes a viable compilation target for other languages (and browser support is there), would you support the teaching of those too for the same reasons? I think part of this is an issue with academia - the tooling that's recommended tends to be (in my experience as a student) outdated, difficult to use and completely out of touch with what's used in industry. Throughout the whole of my CS degree first year we were editing Java in gedit and compiling it with (an outdated version of) javac! Dependencies were downloaded as JARs and manually added to the classpath. There are so many better tools available, especially for use in teaching. For example, JetBrains have done some really great work on an educational IDE for Python (https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm-edu/concepts/ https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm-edu/concepts/). GitHub offer a whole suite of tools for the classroom. They just don't seem to be used as much as they should. I think Python (combined with some GUI/graphics library) could be really valuable and avoid the whole "console interaction" thing.
