Safari continues to hold everyone else up yet again.

No worries, eventually devs will be able to replace Web dev with ChromeOS dev on their curriculums.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Safari being the last bastion against Google turning the Web into ChromeOS, with help of all those folks that have helped making it happen.

It’s delusional nonsense.

Google's market power to make that level of domination happen came and went.

This is great. I am using WASM right now for a music training product I plan on launching in the next few months, and it has been so much nicer than doing it all in JS. I have an audio scheduler running in C++ in an audioworklet, an engine running in s7 Scheme (which runs in compiled C in WASM), and user interface code in JavaScript. The plumbing was a bit involved to figure out the architecture, but now that that's done, I wouldn't go back to plain JS or TypeScript for anything. I love that I can reuse my engine and scheduler/synthesis code from desktop contexts.

Very happy WebAssembly user[0] reporting in. I even wrote a blog post[1] about it. I hope the Go compiler lands support[2] for multi-threaded WebAssembly some time this year.
