Ever since I heard about WebAssembly I've been hoping it would make writing web frontend in non-JS languages possible. It would be fantastic to have language tools for the frontend as diverse as we do for the backend.
There’s plenty of tools, but they’re all written in JS, or dialects of JS, or compile to JS (generally with a performance penalty, if the language isn’t closely related to JS to begin with). The promise of WASM that excites me is using non-JS languages with less compromise.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

What tools do you have in mind? I'm quite happy with the tools I have but that's probably because I've not done too much backend.
