Comment on Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible?

  It still suffers from not having access to the DOM and other APIs the browser supplies. That’s being worked on, I believe.

  Without that, you still need a JavaScript layer in-between at the very least. At that point, you’re not gaining much from running in WASM.

  Doesn’t a browser need to have javascript enabled to even run WASM? That beats the entire point of getting rid of js

    yeah, correct. I had misunderstood what you were specifically asking for.
