True, but I feel like a lot of people make things in web assembly so that when it's finished, it can be put up as a website to show off in their portfolio in an accessible way. And I also feel like that makes is less pure in the hacker way. A lot of toy projects today are being built with showing off to employers in mind.

Good point but half a decade seems a bit to long for it to be just a ploy to show off to employers.
