If LLVM languages are going to become more mainstream in the browser, you need more than a WASM backend - you need to significantly improve interaction with the UI from WASM.

HTML's canvas might be an adequate stop gap, but it really doesn't seem like an acceptable solution in the long term.

Wouldn't the ultimate irony be "native" toolkits like Gtk and Qt being normalized through WASM code rendering to a canvas?

Qt already supports WASM, [0] but it's a long way from being 'web native'.
