I cannot wait to switch from having to use a compile-to-JS toolchain to a compile-to-Dart-to-JS toolchain in order to get a language with a good type system. I'm hopeful Dart will get better given what I've seen and what a member of the Dart team mentioned in a thread a few weeks ago, but right now it's still nothing that gets close to the ancient ML. Would be nice if they learnt a few things from Facebook or Microsoft.

Look at Blazor. It's C# that compiles to Webassembly. None of the JS nonsense required!

  As of right now unfortunately only C, C++ and Rust work well as source languages for WASM. The payloads for .NET and other managed languages go through the roof; but as WASM gains features they're bound to become more viable.
