I agree that WASM is the better option. In my opinion it is however not viable for public-facing sites. The bundle size even if you pull all the tricks is just too big. I am talking about having to download >1MB in the best case before the site is functional. Simply unusable on slow mobile connections. React/Vue/etc. are often sub 100kB, you can even have something like Preact.js at 3kB if you want. I don't understand why this is seemingly not given more priority at MS: https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/41909 https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/41909 My prediction is that this will kill off the technology if they don't find a solution.
