Me: 2024 is finally going to be the year of WASM, boys!

Unpopular opinion: I hope it's going to be a flop (apart from the few use cases where it does make sense). The limitation of having just JavaScript ensures level of interoperability which is IMHO one of the big advantages of web as an application platform. If WASM becomes successful, it will fragment the web.

I definitely feel you. Not sure WASM is the answer, but it’s still neat.
