Webassembly is too recent. It needs to catch on. The momentum behind Javascript/Node is huge beyond comprehension. The engineering that has been poured into the JIT is also quite something. Just scrapping all of this and starting again with Wasm is not going to get traction from anyone.
- BenFrantzDale 5y agoCan you explain “Javascript/Node”? I thought Node.js was a JS interpreter but not the interpreter used in the major web browsers. Rather, that Node is an interpreter that’s used to run Js in (typically) headless (server) environments, allowing both sides to be written in JS. Is that accurate?
