The issue is quite symmetrical, isn't it? Somebody could ask: why not use just WASM? Why need to go to JavaScript?
This is a better question, actually, if you already have a codebase in another language that can you can easily compile to wasm, but not to javascript.
- rattray 6y agoBecause as the article states, JavaScript is widely used by their plugin developers, while AssemblyScript is still nascent (little-used, missing features, has bugs).
- runawaybottle 6y agoLike what? This is like me saying I have a mostly html/css/js website, and I just need it converted to a native Android app. Well no right? I have website. I don’t have mobile app that just needs to switch platforms. Do you have a website built in another language already? Then sure, all you need to do compile it via WASM. What I bet most of you have is a program for a totally different platform. In that case, you have to redo it, so why not just do it right.
