> Despite this I really get the impression a lot of non-JavaScript developers are really hoping this is some holy grail to allow them to write in their favorite language for the web platform, which WebAssembly absolutely isn't.

Note that WebAssembly is an MVP right now. It's getting threads, SIMD, native DOM interaction, GC, which would allow many languages to compile to it and run efficiently.

I did not see native DOM interaction in that document and the thing it linked to is 404.

Hmm, that website mirrors github but got stale: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/FutureFeat...

It now links to here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/1079

The person maintaining that mirror went back to grad school, I'll see who maintains it now. Apologies for the 404.
