Funny how have things have progressed. We went from using HTML + CSS for simple presentation of information, to enriching with small amounts of client side scripting, to plug-and-play sandboxed applications with Flash/Java. Then we realised those were a terrible idea, Flash and Java Applets died, so we started treating JavaScript as a compilation target to mount behemoth abstractions enabling a native application-like experience. When browsers collapsed under the weight of all that crap, WASM was born by necessity. And so we're back to applets.

Am I getting this right?
