"The main thing holding back wider adoption is a lack of system interfaces. File access, networking, etc. But it's just a matter of time before these features get integrated."

Funny. The most obvious place for WASM is a web browser and yet WASM STILL cannot access the browser DOM. Its only been, what? At least 8 years of promises about it coming soon and how people are working on it.

Who exactly has promised it's "coming soon"? People like to make arguments against imaginary arguments for some reason.

Besides, you can already send data from/to Browser<>WASM context which seems to at least solve most use cases people was imagining for WebAssembly back when it was just asm.js.
