That is literally what I have heard directly on here and Reddit numerous times.

> Unless you consider people who using things like Node.js or Electron to be "insecure about touching C/C++" I don't see where you get off saying that about people who want to use WASM.

I am not saying that about WASM. I am saying that about the people who obsessively NEED for WASM to replace JavaScript and believe this to be a magically solution.

That's great, then post in response to those comments instead of ones focusing on WASM as a new compilation target. Repeatedly.
