I expected a fluff article by a high level JavaScript programmer buying into all the optimistic promises of WebAssembly.
Instead, this is actually one of the best articles I've read about WebAssembly. The author approaches it from a C/C++ background and investigates what it means to write applications from that mindset, revealing the huge limitations of asm.js. Then the author turns to WebAssembly and gives a sobering look of how immature that project still is.
