Yeah, honestly didn't expect that. We need some heavier benchmarking to be sure that it's viable though, I'm working on that.
As soon as the browser wasm VMs offer access to the HTML page DOM and some globals (as planned), we could actually bury and forget JavaScript. For me, personally, this would be a thing to celebrate Also, for Nim as a language, wasm offers a big chance to shine. As of now, the easy and proven way to compile to wasm is emscripten, which needs C/C++ as input. Plus, wasm VMs do not yet have their own garbage collectors (planned for the future). So AFAIU people who want to write code in a modern language with garbage collection and compile to wasm _now_ do not have much of a choice apart from Nim.
