Not having direct access to the file system or the network or to a database are because of the sandbox, not because of JavaScript. You can do all those things

Not having direct access to the file system or the network or to a database are because of the sandbox, not because of JavaScript. You can do all those things in Node.
Web Assembly isn’t going to get rid of the sandbox.

I know. Fakeroot is not strictly sandboxing, but I think it illustrates the point.
