The "any language" advantage of WASM is theoretical. Each language is at a different level of support of WASM, libraries aren't all caught up and at the same point for all languages, etc...

I love the promise of WASM, but every time I look at it I get lost in a sea of acronyms, and my optimistic ideas of using language X with library Y on runtime Z are dashed because there is some missing piece somewhere.

If anything, the "any language" thing creates a giant matrix of potential pitfalls for the programmer.

In comparison, the combination of JS/TS, the browser API and a solid std lib looks pretty good for some problems.

Agreed. There is also the lack of a GC in WASM and Denos' use of existing web standard APIs.
