Until we fix the wasm->dom bridge to be just as fast as the js->dom bridge, js will still have a leg up.

AFAIK the hard bits are in bindgen which makes js structs look like wasm ones and vice versa.

I’ve been doing frontend for over a decade and quite bullish on wasm once that boundary isn’t so expensive.

It should be possible to make super performant apps with wasm. Figma sticks out to me as someone really pushing the edge.
