> To all the people complaining that modern web browsers are too complicated for small teams to build and maintain, do you think WASM helped with that at all
Absolutley not. I love rust and would be happy to live in a world where I could write rust in any place where I would typically use typescript or babel or coffeescript back in the day, but none of that is going to be possible without an entire stack of tooling similar to that which already exists for the js-targeted ecosystem, and I have no problem with that, but people who ostensibly dislike "churn" claim to have a problem with new tooling and new solutions for building web pages and this is exactly the promise of wasm.
If anything, wasm represents the biggest shift in "churn" in the history of web development since it opens the door to dozens of new languages and frameworks that were previously impossible to use for web development.
