If your language of choice comes with a runtime that's not shipped in the browser, WASM doesn't seem like it will make speed into a non-issue, it will just frontload the slowness.

ftr, when i mentioned speed i was mainly referring to WASM->DOM. So, if that ends up too slow for heavy DOM manipulation (eg, React style diffing/etc), then with any luck we can offload the DOM interactions to JS. Eg, WASM->JS->DOM
