> I personally think that WebAssembly is the future so the web will finally just be another compilation target and I can't wait for it to be wide spread. Hmmm, I'm not sure about that. I've only done toy projects with WebAssembly, so I could easily be missing something, but it seems to be: 1) Overkill for most websites 2) Significantly more complicated than current web development - which is saying something given the explosion in complexity of recent web development practices Obviously #2 can be lessened as time goes on, but it's hard for me to imagine #1 ever being false. It's great for performance-sensitive applications like games, but it doesn't seem to offer much benefit for CRUD apps or static sites.
