Actually, WASM will enable many languages better for web scripting than Javascript.

WASM certainly had the potential for this, but I am afraid without direct DOM access it is never going to happen.

  It is happening. Leptos is an example: https://www.leptos.dev/ https://www.leptos.dev/ Dioxus is another: https://dioxuslabs.com/ https://dioxuslabs.com/ C# with Avalonia for a different use case: https://avaloniaui.net/ https://avaloniaui.net/ Avalonia solitaire demo: https://solitaire.xaml.live/ https://solitaire.xaml.live/ Avalonia Visual Basic 6 clone: https://bandysc.github.io/AvaloniaVisualBasic6/ https://bandysc.github.io/AvaloniaVisualBasic6/ Blazor can run as WebAssembly on the client side if you choose that runtime mode: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/apps/aspnet/web-apps/blazor https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/apps/aspnet/web-apps/blaz... Beyond the browser, Wasmer does WebAssembly on the serverside: https://wasmer.io/ https://wasmer.io/ Fermyon too: https://www.fermyon.com/ https://www.fermyon.com/ Extism is a framework for an application to support WebAssembly plugins: https://extism.org/ https://extism.org/

    how'd you compare dioxus and leptos?

      Not parent but GP: Love Leptos, I think they are on the right track. Dioxus is good too, I think it has wider scope and they also obtained funding from external sources while Leptos is completely volunteer based.

      If you're familiar with JS frameworks, you can think of it like this: Dioxus : React :: Leptos : SolidJS The key for me is that Leptos leans into a JSX-like templating syntax as opposed to Dioxus's H-like function calls. So, Leptos is a bit more readable in my opinion, but that probably stems from my web dev background. The Dioxus README has a whole section comparing them -- https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus#dioxus-vs-leptos https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus#dioxus-vs-leptos
