And this is why I'm so strongly against adding any more features to browsers such as WASM and new JavaScript language features and APIs: because browsers are already extremely complex programs that can't easily be created from scratch if FF decides to push their users around. I just hope all those armchair web devs who are only looking at their favourite programming language to become supported in browsers via WASM would consider how much they contribute to the death of the web by too many features. Those parties already in the game - browser vendors and self-acclaimed standard bodies - don't have an incentive to simplify the web stack, and will never be able to step back and say "the web is done" after 25 years of attempting to shoehorn a document viewer into an application platform.
