All great and dandy, except tooling still sucks.

You still need to usually install plenty of moving pieces to produce a wasm file out of the "place language here", write boilerplate initialisation code, debugging is miserable, only for a few folks to avoid writing JavaScript.



I think you may be underestimating how many people really dislike JavaScript.

Counted out over N languages, we should see something decent land before long.
