Right now if you're running WASM on their workers you pay for a ton of stuff that JS doesn't have to and probably don't get a ton of leverage in terms of performance. This is really unfortunate, so you're stuck with JS for most types of workloads. But it is likely one of the most accessible compute platforms for web development. Very easy to get started. Everyone and their mother know JS. Similar API to browsers (service workers). Great docs. Free tier. Tons of other stuff that webdev needs on their platform. They are adding object storage, sqlite, messaging, strong consistency for websockets on top of it. Their pricing is extremely competitive and dead simple. I think there is a chance that more and more stuff gets built there. Isolates are a part of it and might be a competitive advantage, but from a developer's perspective they are not the selling point, but an implementation detail.
