Not Op, but I'd like to do python/WASM because I don't do want to do C-Like languages. Sometimes you want to do some light web interactivity without major mental context switching.
For me, personally, it's a lot of effort to switch between languages. So when I'm building a web project and most of it is django/flask/python/etc, but I want something more dynamic than a HTML form post/browser reload... I need to do it in Javascript. Not that I can't javascript, I can, it's just hard to change over and I'm slow to write it. It would be a whole bunch nicer if I could just stay in the python mindset for those small pieces of code.
Do I think python is "better" for the web? No. do I think it's faster? Doubt it.
Do I think it's "better" for my use cases? Yes - And that's the power of WASM. It allows people to do what works for them.
