I can understand the nostalgia, but that just isn't really true anymore for a lot of front-end web development. Almost everywhere you look in front-end web today you see a toolchain that includes the node runtime, babel or typescript as a compiler, and some kind of bundler/linker such as webpack or browserify that throws in minification/mangling in as a freebie. That doesn't even cover CSS. JS/CSS is already a compile target with a build artifact often barely resemble the original source code. WASM is just another compile target that opens up the web as a platform for other languages.
