As in (emphasis mine): "This means that there are important features we know we want and need, but are post-MVP" [1]

As in: "a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for the standard with roughly the same functionality as asm.js, primarily aimed at C/C++;"

It's good that you specified "vital" when talking about "all" aspects. Where vital is basically "let's run MVP in an isolated sandbox with little-to-no interoperability with the rest of the browser". Because the rest of the vital things like "basically everything" [3] [4] are still MIA.

But yeah, I mean, the modern web was built on a language designed in 10 days, so I shouldn't complain, should I.
