I'm not a fan of WebAssembly. I like js because you can instantly reload and test changes to your code without lengthy build or compile times and I'm hoping for typescript to become standard so that the same applies for typescript. I doubt the same will ever be possible with WebAssembly.

- rounce 8y agoJust took .284s to re-compile a Rust (stdweb) app targeting WASM. And well over 2 seconds for Webpack to deal with (just) bundling 6 JS files and the .wasm file.
