Interpreted that's right, in fact it's super slow and adding types adds up to parsing time. Javascript is jitted. Python types serves no purpose if not for documenting or letting the lsp doing some lightweight type checking. And b

Isn't Asm.js better just for the fact that I can call web apis directly without shims? Or moving data in and out? I'd love to commit totally to webassembly but still seems very limited, am I wrong?

It really depends on the task, but, in my experience, small to medium and bigger codebases, the amount of steering to get quality code is not worth it. I see patterns and solutions emerging from hand coding, I'm not the other way aroun
