WASM needs to be killed with fire before it's too late.

WASM needs to be killed with fire before it's too late.
- baybal2 6y agoFully agreed!
- jfengel 6y agoWhy? I don't know much about WASM, but surely it is better than the cobbled together monstrosity that is JavaScript.
- bioipbiop 6y agoAll the insecurity of js, but with the opaqueness of assembly.
- yellowapple 6y agoHard disagree. WASM is as good an opportunity as any to enforce better security habits, and indeed seems to be designed specifically with browser security/sandboxing in mind. "Killing" WASM does precisely nothing to fix the status quo around JS insecurity.
- secondcoming 6y agoYes, so were Java and applets. And we all know what happened there.
- nightowl_games 6y agoHard disagree. WebASM and emscripten is the way away from JavaScript, into a better future where code is more cross platform and more performant.
