We're always beating around the JavaScript bush unfortunately. That would really be something to run any language you want. Still need a way to interface with the DOM, haven't heard if WebAssembly can do that yet. 😁

Well, not necessarily. Using WebAssembly, you could use any UI library you want, if it runs on OpenGL, because WebAssembly can access WebGL already. This means that the DOM may finally be replaced by something that was made for interactive graphics from the ground up, and not in retrospective.

That'd be neat, the future sounds bright.
