Prepare for the onslaught of new (and old) languages targeting the web.
While this is welcome news, I am also torn. The possibilities are pretty amazing. Think seamless isomorphic apps in any language that can target WebAssembly and has a virtual dom implementation.
However, it finally seems like JS is getting some of its core problems solved and is getting usable. I wonder if it might have short term productivity loss as the churn ramps up to new levels with a million different choices of language/platform.
Either way, it will be an interesting time... and a time to keep up or risk being left behind.
