> Once webassembly gets off the ground javascript will die I've seen this sentiment floated around and it's delusional. "Once [better tech] gets off the ground, [lesser tech with decades of headstart] will die" has never been true on its own grounds. JS's death will be slow, gradual, and we'll see it coming from two decades away. Just look at Java to see what a popular language on the decline looks like. It's extremely slow, and that's nothing compared to JS.
