Aren't those functionalities critical for WASM to fully replace JS and become "the common runtime" for all web languages? I don't think we can build an efficient implementation of those on top of the "simple" WASM.
- jhgb 4y agoThe more features you add, the less (not more) common it's going to be as a runtime.
- brabel 4y agoSpend 5 minutes reading about WASM and see how everyone involved in it keeps repeating "replacing JS is NOT the goal". Even with all the repeating, the message does not seem to be coming across.
- jhgb 4y agoTo be fair, I imagine the original IBM PC team in 1980 kept repeating "replacing our mainframes is NOT the goal", too.
