Why is WebAssembly a second-class language on the web? – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog
This post is an expanded version of a presentation I gave at the recent WebAssembly CG meeting in Munich. WebAssembly has come a long way since its first release in 2017. The 1.0 version of WebAssembly was already a great fit for low-level languages like C and C++, and immediately enabled many new kinds of applications to efficiently target the web.
Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem - eslint
Linting is the act of finding patterns in code that could lead to mistakes or ensure a consistent reading experience. It's a core piece of many JavaScript/TypeScript projects. We found lots of potential for time savings in their selector engine and AST conversion process and a perfect linter written in JS would be able to hit sub-second run times.

Build reactive UIs, WebGPU workloads, and WASM modules in the same language, with the same type system.

Again, we can try to be generous. But this fits a pattern. When people found issues in their open source code, instead of fixing them they went closed source. When they had an XSS vulnerability right at launch it took over a day for them to acknowledge and close it.

I feel like using LLMs to flag intent/semantics mismatches (eg do var names seem to match what you actually do) or indirect violations of API contracts or whatever as a supplement to static analysis to produce *better* code would be at least as high impact, and it's like 1% of the discourse
