I sure am tired of Javascript being the lingua franca of the web. Imagine if we decided C was good enough and now all programming languages from that point on should just be something that cross-compiles to it.
Isn't that what WebAssembly is for? It's kind of the web version of C pretending that everything is a PDP-11.
Support WASM then?
We need a Coffeescript Renaissance!
