How does LO compare with AssemblyScript?

• andrewfromx 2y ago
  AssemblyScript is very strange to me. The whole point of wasm is you can avoid javascript/typescript language and do stuff in a browser in go, rust, or now LO!

    I wouldn't say that's the whole point of Wasm. Speed & efficiency are also key goals, which are what AssemblyScript play into, giving access to that speed potential in a format that's easy for web devs

      And the similarities between AS and TS (or especially JS) are very superficial. They share some grammar, and utilize many of the same type system features, but AS is fundamentally a different language with fundamentally different semantics (which are much closer to WASM, and then much closer to those other compile-to-WASM choices).
