Doesn't solve any of the big problems with large scale javascript apps:
1) Lack of type checking leading to exploding runtime exceptions
2) Object inheritance/prototype is weird and counter intuitive to other OO languages
3) Lack of proper encapsulation leading to spaghetti code when combined with #1
I suspect we are in for a new era of languages targeting web assembly to be used as webapp frontends and backends but if they don't tackle the big issues above then what is the point?
