Certainly, I’d love webassembly, but as of now, it’s not something that’s part of the spec, or something that I can use right now, and I also want to see how far I can push the language as an experiment.
I think there is a place for improving the language as is; it’s surprising how far javascript has evolved. Modules being implement, and then in the future hopefully types and a bit more control over the GC and I think the language will be good for most everything. How portable with about everything out there is the one thing that draws me to it.
