I love that this is being 100% serious and is probably close to 60% the wordcount of the parody article. I know enough of javascript when I did it back in 2010 as to WHY people built all that. It's still basically the same feeling as watching the movie Brazil. How will Webassembly possibly handle backwards compatibility to old browsers? Webassembly --> asm.js transpiling? Edit: yes it will. And apparently Webassembly is actually Lisp. Hm, I can see webassembly equalling/surpassing the JVM in technical capability. That might be a pretty good thing, because javascript on the server was never a good idea.
