> There will always be some sort of JS glue code, it might be generated and you don't need to directly deal with it, but it will still be there, and that's simply because web APIs are first and foremost designed for usage from Javascript. Historically, at least, web APIs were designed for usage from all kinds of languages, which is precisely why e.g. the DOM API is defined using IDL. There's no reason why we can't get back to that situation. WinRT shows how you can have a high-level object-oriented API that can be projected into different languages in ways that reflect idiomatic use in those languages (e.g. projecting promises differently to allow for async/await to work everywhere).
