- akmittal 9y agoThere's Rust, Swift, C#, Go. Plenty of people would like to(many do already) write in these languages.
- abritinthebay 9y agoI’d amend that to “Some would like to (a few do already)…” The user base of those languages that wants to do this is incredibly small right now
- lhorie 9y agoI think the argument is that the set containing people who work with web UIs and the set of people who use Rust/Swift/C#/Go don't overlap very much, and generally people aren't going to learn a new stack unless there's an extraordinary external motivation to do so.
- titzer 9y agoA lot of legacy apps want to bring their party to the web, and game engines are using WebAssembly as a replacement for NaCl and Flash. Even big engines like Unreal are coming. It's a different kind of application and use case.
