There is WebAssembly for that now.

I'm not a fan of WebAssembly. I like js because you can instantly reload and test changes to your code without lengthy build or compile times and I'm hoping for typescript to become standard so that the same applies for typescript. I doubt the same will ever be possible with WebAssembly.

Anything more complicated than a little jQuery stuff is going to need build tooling anyway, at least Webpack and probably JSLint and Mocha. Since those are already there, adding either Babel or TyepScript isn't all that difficult.

Just took .284s to re-compile a Rust (stdweb) app targeting WASM.

And well over 2 seconds for Webpack to deal with (just) bundling 6 JS files and the .wasm file.

what is lengthy to you? some languages can compile ~30k lines in 0.5 seconds

Anything > 1s

Curious, which languages compile that fast to WebAssembly?
