Oh! Right, I see. I'd have thought we could do that today in Typescript or something, but maybe they have something extra in mind.

Yeah this is sort of the point. Much of JavaScripts ascendancy is simple it’s monopoly on being able to run native in browser. Wasm lets you bring other languages to the browser.

The author didn’t mention using the browsers web console or “how do I use rails console in the browser with wasm?”. That’d be interesting to me. Can I write Ruby in the web console and see things change live in my wasm app?
