As we nowadays compile TS to JS anyways, it would be a small step to go full WASM and have language agnosticism mostly.
A bit related:
I still do not really understand why WASM has no direct DOM access.
Answers to this question seem to fall into two categories:
- We don't need it, because you can do everything via a Javascript detour easily
- We don't want it for reason X
To me both feel a bit like excuses. I've yet to see a hard technical reason why it is not done. So, why not make WASM a first class citizen and do away with Javascript for good?
