I don't think web languages should have comparisons with JS on their homepage now that we have wasm.

The WASM devs have really been trying to correct the "WASM will replace JS" meme. I don't think any of them believe that it will, or even that it would be a good thing if it did.

I wonder how many people actually believed that. People want to use their favorite language on both the server and the client/browser. Why is so hard to get this?
