Which might/should prompt a rethink...
You are correct, but I disagree with the premise. Javascript and the entire ecosystem is horrible and only came to rise because there was no other option.
For the first time ever we do a have shot of making something better and our goal is to adapt it to the lowest common denominator? We most certainly don't make it easy for ourselves...
- illiarian 4y ago> Which might/should prompt a rethink It shouldn't. It's goal is to continue running in the browsers and to have proper interactions with browser objects like the DOM. And those are garbage-collected by the browser. So you need at least some GC support in wasm to tell it that an object is released and to check if the object is still held by wasm runtime. > and our goal is to adapt it to the lowest common denominator How is garbage collection the lowest common denominator?
