Curious, have you actually written production software targeting WASM? Because I have, in Rust, the language with the best toolchain for this by an order of magnitude.
Despite all that, and me being very familiar with both Rust and JS, it was a big pain. WASM will remain a niche technology for those who really need it, as it should be. No one is going to write their business CRUD in it, it would be a terrible idea.
- FullyFunctional 6y agoI don't dispute it, but could you elaborate on the painful parts? I find the crossing in and out of JavaScript to be less than ideal. However, I don't see why WASM couldn't evolve to require less of that, ie. expose more of what you need JavaScript for today.
