Why I think Typescript is A Good Thing, But mainly a complaint about the number of programming languages. Other than objects (which were not invented), I don’t think any of them are a marked improvement on PL/1.
As I understand things, yes, WASM has to interop with JS to handle the DOM access. But I have implemented a small UI with DOM access and had to write no JS myself, because frameworks can generate that interop code for you.
