5 years ago they told me I could write multi threaded web applications using C, C++ (or Rust).
Then they realized that web assembly could solve world peace and got to work on that.
Today I am still unable to create a div from a wasm compiled C application.
- yes, yes, I know interface types are cool and yes proposals take a while but please, I just want to write better web apps.
Given wasm will need to be imported as a script src and have a robust threading model before the dream of web applications competing with native applications for performance, I suspect I won't see it usable in my lifetime
