I wonder if those who routinely get pissed about the ongoing replacement of JavaScript with high level languages compiled into WebAssembly understand that this sentiment originates precisely from the fact that JavaScript code is typically (not always) one big fat hack. But the internet and the web is fantastically important. It deserves the full power of higher level languages written by people who care about code correctness, type safety, security, and all of the things expected in a non-web application. The prof clearly doesn't get that. Unfortunately he has a lot of company.
