It IS newish and it is fair to be cautious of new things, but this one may stick around for awhile, as it's mostly just a modification/refinement of what Emscripten was already doing successfully https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten acting as a build target for the vast majority of C/C++ code out there, and Emscripten is not at all new. Here are some demos/examples to show what it's already accomplished: https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/wiki/Porting-E...

And JavaScript itself (for better or worse) isn't going anywhere, it is literally "too big to fail" at this point.

I'm a web developer and have been following this space since the Web came out, these are just my best educated guesses. I would deem "developing with a target of HTML5/Canvas/JS/emscripten/wasm" to be future-proof for the foreseeable future (the next 10 years).

BONUS: You may already know about being able to convert LaTeX to HTML5 via JS, but just in case you haven't, this is pretty cool: https://latex.js.org/

Thanks. I was unaware of the web page. I've saved a bookmark.

I'll trade you. I perceive that the standard for conversion at this point, which you may not know about, is https://www.tug.org/tex4ht/.

(Sorry, do you know the author of the latex.js package? I would like to contact him.)

I found his email in the package information: https://github.com/michael-brade/LaTeX.js/blob/master/packag...
