I'm worried that the baby thinks people can't change.

I disagree. I think that Wasm/WebGPU have the potential to replace "the stack" by something better without breaking it. This fundamentals of this tech are very close to an hypervisor, the end-game could be thin, performant and practical.
Then just do the end-game. Why play around in the kiddie pool for 30 years first?
Agreed, it might have been better if ActiveX or even Java had been a well engineered, mature, efficient, secure and reputable tech from the start. But the gods chose Javascript instead.
JS wasn't mature, efficient, secure and reputable at the start either. So this has nothing to do with anything.
Yes, it wasn't, but a large enough part of the tech world considered that it was the right tool for the job.
Literally no one ever considered JavaScript to be the right tool for anything. It was a historical accident that began by hiring someone to implement Scheme in Netscape Navigator. It is a textbook example of design by die roll.
I agree about the design part, it was a quick & dirty attempt. Nevertheless a large part of the tech world decided to use this modest scripting language well beyond its initial scope.
No they didn't? It was the only thing in the browser. They didn't have a choice. Literally no one ever chose JavaScript. In fact most people choose _not_ to use JavaScript, they just compile GUI tool or their TypeScript or whatever else to JavaScript.
I am not a Javascript advocate, to be clear, and not trying to have a debate about the history of computing. I agree that Javascript was an accident but my point is that it was used and not rejected like Java or ActiveX.
But that is only because it shipped in the browser. If Java or ActiveX had shipped in all browsers, then the comparison would make sense. But JavaScript (called "JScript" on Explorer) was the only cross-browser programming language, period. So it won. End of story.
In the web it's always the same story: there is a tool (badly designed) used in all manners outside its scope; no one questions if that's good; ok go on with the mess. When the mess becomes irreversible: ok add a new badly designed layer on top. Goto 1.
