Well that's kind of a different argument. But one I can get well on board with.

We should kill JS, and EVERY WebSpec, except for WASM and WASI. Take the best parts of html and css and implement a virtual dom / immutable data driven document format for WASI.

Focus all our efforts on carving useful capabilities for WASI and end this web nightmare once and for all.

Not realistic, but a man can dream...

It is realistic and at some point, one of the browsers will be a shell that runs Wasm and browser updates will just be Wasm.
