Isn't the solution on its way with wasm, ie. the ability to run pretty much any other language in the browser at high performance?

- tyingq 7y agoThey would need direct DOM access, the GC, and polymorphic inline cache for many of the popular dynamically typed scripting languages. Some of them also have pretty hefty stdlibs. I suspect you'll see more Lua, than Python, for example. Or maybe something micropython like?
- cm2187 7y agoI believe direct DOM access & GC are on their way. I don't know what a polymorphic inline cache is. Frankly when you look at the number of megabytes downloaded by a typical web page, having a standard library stored on cdn shared between websites wouldn't be that big of a deal.
