I'm still bullish on the potential for Web Assembly apps to overtake mobile binaries.

And instead of Single Page Apps, we'll have just plain Apps that run in browsers.

I would much rather program in any language that is compiled to web assembly rather than JavaScript.

Since I assume you know about it a bit more, what is realistically timeframe it could happen at best?

    No idea on timeline. But I'd speculate Apple has no incentive to cannibalize their AppStore ecosystem and make Safari more than a web browser.

    So Google/Chrome or Firefox are the only 2 players with enough incentive to make Wasm an Internet app standard.

    Or possibly the next Wasm-first, cross platform browser will come along with a Wasm AppStore?
