It's just a shame that WebAssembly itself is a concept so deeply flawed in conception that it is unsalvagable, and that it'll hurt developers and users alike. Does opening the door to frontend development in C, Rust, Java, and the whole menagerie really seem like such a good idea? Consider the mess we've made with Javascript--the spread of that mess to other languages to enable WASM and web support is going to be even worse.

Would you care to add some information about why you feel this way?
