I’m not particularly looking forward to that. There is an advantage of having the entire web in a single language, I mean, I still think SPAs are kind of stupid in concept, but we write them because the toolset for them is so good. Do you really think there will be equal tool sets available for you in your favorite language when webassembly eventually makes it to the browser? I’d say we’re a good 20 years from it having any form of productivity, and from a human resource point of view, you won’t see companies replacing staff over it, so JS is still the future. I don’t really understand the hate js gets though. Sure recursion is ridiculously slow, it’s a little verbose, and you certainly need your team to agree on some standards (or you can decide for them), but I actually think it’s kind of decent, once you get to know it.
