WASM is where I think the web should be heading. It's been shown time and time again that designing good high level interfaces is very hard and there will always be a better design out later. Platforms like web browsers are not able to innovate like libraries can.

JS has multiple implementations for date interfaces and they are all flawed in ways. Rust decided that date handling should be the job of 3rd party libraries which have the freedom to drop bad ideas and break compatibility for the goal of a constantly improving implementation.

One thing I really like about the current web is that I can still inspect and dissect almost everything with just the developer tools. I couldn't do that with WASM blobs, which of course the ad industry would absolutely love since then they can just obfuscate their binary blobs and hide anything in there, legal or not, malware or not, and it's no longer feasible to rip it out.
