I fully agree with your take. I think JS-directed computation is very good towards short-term adoption (since running JS on the Edge is probably the most popular use case), but eventually the needs to run other programming languages at the Edge will likely eclipse the JS use case.

At Wasmer [1] we have been working actively towards this future. Lately more companies have been also doing awesome work on these fronts: Lunatic, Suborbital, Cosmonic (WasmCloud) and Fermyon (Spin). However, each of us with a different take/vision on how to approach the future of Computation at the Edge. I'm very excited about to see what each approach will bring into the table.
