It doesn’t approach the convenience of JS dev tools.

For example, you can’t have a REPL and high-level debugger combo, you just get a very basic low-level debugger. It’s a 90s debugging experience.

You can’t even have a modern low-level debugger because you can’t control how the browser executes your WASM, unlike in a native executable where you can run a debugger and then run your code inside it.

I guess you could have a WASM based debugger that has a WASM interpreter inside, and then you run your code inside that, but my God if that’s the future then I want no part of it.
