Yes, that was my thought too and I was disappointed to see them defending JS at the top of the article. Getting away from dynamic language mush is one of the biggest attractions I have to WASM.

You already got that from asm.js though.

why to use a half baked solution than something designed from the ground up for the job?

I don't read binaries so I don't particularly care how hackish the solution is as long as it works. There are benefits to wasm of course, but running C code in the browser isn't one of them.
