I don’t agree. Runtime performance gains of wasm are marginal. I think a more significant improvement is the compact binary, short parse time and the removed need for optimisation / reoptimisation. On mobile this could mean apps load much faster.

It's possible! Haven't seen evidence, but perhaps usual, that'd sway my view. Naively, tho, WASM binaries are larger on the wire than JS & massive challenge today is binary size.

And interestingly, one of WASM’s big and clear perf wins, parse time, may get undercut by JS binary ASTs.

Doesn't even need that. SW cache optimisation w/o new API enough to undercut. Background: I've asked WASM participants since '15 what the sustainable advantage is.

How can they stop it? Just another chunk-o-JS no?

Misunderstood previous. Sorry!

Counterpoint: developer demand for the future is going to be an ongoing crisis for wasm for years. Host objects, threads, events: all wanted, needed, now.
