There won't be a repeat. WASM is a clearly better compilation target than JS, and browsers have greatly improved the "vanilla" DX.

TypeScript ecosystem is the Enterprise Java of this decade, except it's built on shakier foundations, i.e. you can run some ancient JVM, but good luck relying on an ancient browser version & node dependencies. There will probably still be tons of job-security in the next couple decades, but it's not forward-looking technologically.



Building a language and a framework on top of wasm is just another abstraction.

Ironically you mention the jvm which further proves the existence of the flat circle.

We've done it before... We will do it again.
