I’ve wanted to use Hoot for a while now. I’ve done a bit of Wasm via Rust, and the UX is really good. But the DOM stuff is handled via a web-sys JS shim. The Leptos and Dioxus web frameworks are great if you’re building that kind of thing. But the learning curve is rather steep.
The prospect of a Wasm compiler that can itself run in Wasm means Hoot is not just ideal for interactive web pages, but for building arbitrary runtimes. The spritely institute provides other tools (Goblins) for making distributed runtimes.
And if Scheme is not your preferred language, Scheme is an excellent language for building compilers.
Hoot has the potential to make Wasm a lot more accessible.
