I always thought webassembly would be great that you can write rich guis in languages like Python or Java, but instead its mostly low level with Rust and C++ having momentum. Is it just not ready yet? or do I misunderstand the goals.

It could be that the bundle sizes for the user to download are smaller with low level languages. Scripting languages (and Java) have large runtimes.
