Hard disagree. WASM is as good an opportunity as any to enforce better security habits, and indeed seems to be designed specifically with browser security/sandboxing in mind. "Killing" WASM does precisely nothing to fix the status quo around JS insecurity.
Yes, so were Java and applets. And we all know what happened there.
Why? I don't know much about WASM, but surely it is better than the cobbled together monstrosity that is JavaScript.
All the insecurity of js, but with the opaqueness of assembly.
Hard disagree. WebASM and emscripten is the way away from JavaScript, into a better future where code is more cross platform and more performant.
