It sounds like he does, at least a little bit, because that's the problem he has with it?

"How the real world works for the web" is the problem.

WebAssembly/WASI is a pretty good start IMO: Having a compiled language with escape hatches to browser APIs is the ideal for me. Personally, the closest I've seen is Flutter's Skia/CanvasKit (which does use WASM, apparently). I'd certainly like to see applications of similar concepts in other languages/frameworks though.
