Nailed it. We have JS in the browser, and (particularly with TS) it's a great language for building applications on the web. What's great about WASM is the interop layer we have now between other systems. Our company has a mountain of legacy C++, encoding many years of hard-won business logic, and the ability to tap into that on the frontend (locally, in-client) has been amazing. No more hacky transpilation or maintaining separate codebases; just write your FFI and compile the binary to WASM.
